Jayden Chance
I’m proud to serve families and businesses in Georgia through my role at Taylor Insurance Services. With a background in business ownership and a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration and Marketing from Valdosta State University, I bring a practical, people-first approach to helping clients find solutions that fit their needs.
I value building strong relationships and making sure the people I work with feel confident and cared for. My experience as a self-employed business owner taught me the importance of trust, communication, and follow-through—qualities I carry into my work every day.
Outside the office, I enjoy watching baseball and football. I enjoy doing activities such as hunting and fishing while also being active in my church community. I’m also blessed to share life with my fiancee, Kalleigh Webb.
