Like us, Tom and Valerie, are dedicated to serving their community. As trusted health insurance agents in Carteret county, their work is about much more than sales: It also offers opportunities to connect with the community they call home.
Tom and Valerie share their story

[SCREEN TEXT] Thom & Valerie Styron, Styron & Styron Insurance

[Thom Styron]

I’ve been with Blue Cross since 1987 I believe. I live in Beauford, North Carolina with my lovely wife.

Both of our families have been in this county since early 1700s.

[Melodi Styron Lyerly]

I think the importance of this agency is really just the importance of the relationships that have been built and maintained for, you know, 45 some odd years now.

[Thom Styron]

The drive that we get from serving others is our big thing. That they expect us to be here and that’s what we do, it’s part of our work ethic.

[Melodi Styron Lyerly]

The involvement in the community that Thom and Valerie have – Community College and EMC and all of the things that they are involved in.

[Valerie Styron]

We get joy out of working with people so that gives us energy just being able to work with people.

[Thom Styron]

All these things, our involvement in the community and trying to help others is recognized by Blue Cross and it has been very helpful.

It’s a great marriage.
