Ellison Lor

Hello, My name is Ellison Lor. I was born in Stockton, CA. I currently live in Newton, NC and I am a Hmong-American. I am bilingual in English and Hmong.

Hmong people are from Southeast Asia. Hmong people do not have a country of their own. My specific subgroup is from the mountains of Laos. My parents were children when the Vietnam War broke out. My father’s parents had him late in life, so they passed before he was 8 years old. My father became a soldier when he turned 13 years old. He fought alongside the American CIA and led many people to safety in Thailand. My mother was orphaned at a young age because her father stepped on an explosive mine while farming and her mother passed as a result of not having access to modern medicine.

With just the clothes on their backs, my parents came to Stockton, California as refugees. I grew up in poverty where gang violence was all around, and college was unheard of. When I turned 13, my parents wanted safety for us. So they moved my 8 siblings and myself to North Carolina. Soon after my mother fell ill and passed. My father did not have sufficient life insurance for my mother. We were able to bury my mother because my father added her as a rider on his life insurance policy through work. Our community also stepped in to help.

At 14 years of age, I was the oldest son, so I had to become a man. I helped my father with the bills and supported my siblings. I worked two jobs as I went through Hickory High School and Lenoir Rhyne College. I graduated with 2 degrees in Business Management and Finance.

I have been in insurance for over 17 years. 15 of those years have been with State Farm. I never consider myself a salesman, but as someone who is protecting families from ever experiencing the same struggles I had to endure.

My wonderful supportive wife, Judy works with me. We've been married for 15 years. We have 2 beautiful daughters and an active little boy. August is 11, Temperance is 9 and Ellison Jr. is 1.

I enjoy fishing and hunting. I am extremely passionate about football. When time permits, I also play the drums for the worship band at church.

My office is in the Statesville area. We are approaching our 8th year in January 2025. We can service people throughout North Carolina and South Carolina. I have the mobility to come meet people where ever they are. I have an amazing team. We are multilingual in English, Hmong and Spanish. We are different from other offices. We spend more than 15 minutes with a person in order to make certain that we properly put the right plan in place.

It would be an honor to provide you an insurance quote for auto, home, life, business, or health.
