Dan Ray

I’ve always been passionate about serving others. I think it probably stemmed from the service trips I did in high school. Meeting people, learning their stories and building plans to fit their lives is what drives me every day. As a local State Farm agent working with people all across Chicago, including the West Town, Portage Park, Ukrainian Village, Wicker Park, Bucktown and Irving Park neighborhoods, it’s an honor to help my customers protect what’s important to them. We offer coverage in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Missouri.

Before I opened my State Farm ‘Raygency’ in 2012, I spent several years supporting another State Farm agent, which gave me a strong foundation in communication and customer service. I want my office to be a comfortable, welcoming place, and that’s where my experienced, friendly team comes in. Lessly, Raul, Bob, Carolina, Caroline, Gonzalo, James, Beth, and Maya are always here to support you, answer questions, and help you throughout the process. Nothing excites us more than providing creative coverages for our customers. We also LOVE connecting good people with other good people in business!

What began at our Irving Park office has grown, in 2025 we opened an additional office location at 3701 W Irving Park Rd Chicago, IL 60618 so we can be even more convenient for the communities we serve.

Late summer brings new beginnings, whether you are relocating across town or settling into a university apartment. Protecting your furniture, TV, and personal items safeguards your everyday lifestyle. Take a quick moment this August to ensure your home's contents are protected.

I grew up right here in Chicago (Park Ridge actually!), and I’m proud to support my neighbors the way they’ve always supported me. I serve as a sponsor to help at-risk youth in the area, and I participate in events and races to raise money and awareness for STEM education. Outside the office, I enjoy endurance sports, playing soccer & basketball in our backyard with my four kids, Jack, Abbey, Colin and Etta, and cooking with my wife Julia.

Life is full of changes, and protecting the people we love is always a priority. Life insurance offers financial protection that helps support loved ones during difficult times. Looking ahead presents opportunities to reflect on these important safeguards and bring confidence for the future.
