About Erik Vern Anderson
I don’t believe in cookie-cutter coaching. I believe in measurable growth, smart strategy, and doing what works—even if it’s unconventional. Think of it like card counting in blackjack: we don’t play by gut feel, we play by the numbers. If you’re an entrepreneurial-minded individual with the grit to build something meaningful, I’ll help you turn that into a winning agency.
As your business coach and district leader, I work side-by-side with new and experienced agency owners to define goals, design custom business plans, and apply proven systems that drive real results. We don’t guess—we track, measure, and adapt using the same kind of analytics and AI tools that flipped baseball on its head. We’re not chasing home runs—we’re stacking on-base percentage.
Yes—starting a business can be intimidating. That’s why I pair my hands-on support with industry-leading tools from Farmers®, including award-winning training through the University of Farmers®, access to startup capital, and the backing of a nationally recognized brand.
If you’re ready to lead, compete, and grow, you’ll have the full force of our district behind you—starting with me. We’re here to beat the odds, rewrite the playbook, and build something that wins every season.
Let's Play Moneyball.

The Northeast Ohio Moneyballer's District Clubhouser doesn’t run on vague vision statements — we run on performance, data, and grit. In our District, success isn’t just hoped for — it’s built. Every move we make is measured, every agent we develop is intentional. We're here to help Farmers agency owners grow smart, run lean, and win big — using proven systems, relentless accountability, and data-driven strategy.
We’ve built one of the most experienced teams in the industry to back you up — just like the front office of a Moneyball franchise. Theresa Shomo, our General Manager, runs operations and systems with precision. Jim Schreffler, our Assistant GM, guides our appointment pathways and onboarding. And Becky Burns scouts talent like a seasoned recruiter, ensuring we only bring in the most promising players.
And if the Top of the Batting Order isn't enough, we have strong, established partnerships from Jodi Brunson, with Farmers Business Insurance. Jodi is here to help you get those extra-base hits! In addition to clearing the bases with a strong appetite for Business Insurance, we also have all the bases covered with All-Star Faryal Simon from Life and Financial Services! You couldn't ask for better than Faryal if you tried - a five-tool rockstar!
Together, we take the guesswork out of building a successful agency — turning odds into outcomes with analytics, AI, and a coaching culture built on results.
If you're ready to compete, grow, and build a legacy, let’s talk about what joining the Northeast Ohio Moneyballers and the Farmers family could look like for you.
