This past year one thing I've come to realize is the power of nostalgia and the importance its place has in our lives and hearts. Our community has been through it these past few years, and quite frankly, haha, its time we brought back what it means to be a community. To me this means being present, offering neighbors friendly refreshments, a reason to pause for a moment and reflect on what all of this Life really is about. Community, warm hearts and warm bellies.

2024 is our year of gratitude. Thanks for 38 incredible years serving you. In honoring my friends and neighbors on Solano, my Bliss Booth of Gratitude will be popping up all year long.

December 13th is National Cocoa Day! What better reason to join us for Cocoa, Coffee and Candied Apples?!

We have leveled-up our table with a snazzy tent to keep you warm while having friendly conversations with your fellow neighbors while dipping apples in your favorite confections.

With State Farm you are always quoted lowest possible offers year-round. No need to wait for Black Friday to enjoy the savings we have to offer. The most important plan that you and your loved ones can make is having proper protections throughout your entire lives. Employer provided coverages can be risky so a job change or other life event requires a review of your coverage and beneficiaries. I have degrees from the American College (Chartered Life Underwriter and Chartered Financial Con.) and I make it my mission to ensure that you understand the Life Insurance options available to you. We intend to educate you instead of simply peddling Life Insurance products. Losing a loved one is a low-frequency but high-impact event. Let's set up a time to discuss what your future financial security looks like to you. Call or text today

Thank you for dropping by our virtual State Farm Insurance office! Located at the SE corner of Solano and Tulare, here in beautiful Berkeley, CA. My State Farm team and I are here to help you choose the right insurance and financial services products to fit your individual needs. Whether you’re a Berkeley local or call San Diego home, I serve the entire State of California. I truly love what I do! I take pride in helping our Good Neighbors prepare for the future and protect the people and things that mean the most to them. We’re here to help things go right!

My brilliant team of State Farm Insurance Rep's and I are looking forward to the opportunity to earn your business. Our goal isn’t to simply provide a list of insurance and financial services products available to you. Instead, we want to learn about you as a person – what are your goals and aspirations? What is your personal vision of being financially sound? We can get this started by conducting a no-obligation insurance review to see where you are now and together plot a course for how to get where you want to be! My State Farm Insurance team and I are here for you during every stage of your life.

This global pandemic has taught us all difficult lessons. But one thing is certain – it is critical to protect those you love. Let’s discuss Life Insurance through State Farm and how you can shield your family from the unexpected. We have Life Insurance offerings that fit nearly any budget! If you have work provided Life Insurance, do you own it? Or do they? Our State Farm office would love to create a personalized approach to help save you money by combining your Auto Insurance and Life Insurance today!

While State Farm Insurance may be a massive company, my office is local. With us the benefit of both worlds, the local plus national! The security of a financially sound company paired with the down-home knowledge of a Berkeley local to guide you through your insurance and financial services journey. I started my State Farm Agency in Berkeley in 1985. My degrees are from University of California, Berkeley, BA Music. University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, MA Music. I regularly volunteer at Albany High School Music, using my skills on violin and viola.

Our State Farm team is here to make life-long relationships. Are you in the market for a new car? A used car? Something in between? Let’s get you an Auto Insurance quote today!

Let's discuss a Personal Price Plan to find the optimal coverage for your unique situation. When you combine our local presence with a wide array of coverage options, we can craft a policy to meet your needs at reasonable prices. If you’re considering switching your insurance provider, we’d be thrilled to discuss all the benefits of State Farm Car Insurance. When working with Frank Bliss at State Farm, you’re not just getting an Auto Insurance policy, you’re getting a seasoned team of insurance professionals that share a singular goal – placing your financial well-being at the forefront of all that we do!

I'm very active supporting local musical organizations like Cazadero Performing Arts Camps, Young People's Symphony Orchestra, Berkeley Symphony, San Francisco Opera and Albany Music Fund. Other local affiliations are Berkeley Breakfast Club and the Kiwanis Club of Berkeley. Previously I was a Scoutmaster, Berkeley Troop 5, President NALU chapter--(Now named NAIFA), a Professional Violinist & Violist. A long time ago I spent a year playing violin with the Amsterdam Philharmonic Orchestra where I learned Dutch (now a bit rusty)!
