James M. Gee, CPA, CIRA, CFE
Agent #1087539 · State of Utah
Your local Farmers® agent
A partner in security and prosperity
James Gee is Highland's local Farmers Insurance agent — and one of the most uniquely qualified insurance professionals in Utah County. After 30+ years as a licensed CPA, forensic accountant, and senior federal analyst at the U.S. Department of Justice, James retired from federal service and opened his insurance practice in Highland to serve the families and small businesses he calls neighbors.
That background means every client gets a level of financial and contractual insight most agents simply can't offer — you're not just getting a policy, you're getting a partner in security and prosperity. James pairs the strength of Farmers — nearly 100 years in business — with personalized, face-to-face service no call center can match.

In the community
A familiar face around Highland
James isn't an agent you only meet when something goes wrong. You'll see him around town — at local events, parades, and gatherings — because GEE Family Insurance is built on being part of the community it protects.
That's the difference between a call center and a neighbor: when you work with James, you're working with someone who lives where you live and looks out for the families and businesses next door.
