Lino Amaral

As a veteran of the insurance and financial services industry for over two decades and a State Farm Policyholder for nearly 30 years, I am here to help you with all of your insurance and financial service needs.  As a former CEO of a not for profit fraternal benefit life insurance company, I have developed a keen understanding and desire to better inform my customers about managing risk and how insurance plays a role in protecting what you have worked so hard to earn. I look forward to becoming your source for your insurance needs.

I am proud to be serving the community that I was raised in as a State Farm Agent!  A West Contra Costa native, I was born at Brookside Hospital, grew up in Tara Hills, went to Kerry Hills Elementary, Pinole Jr. High and graduated from Pinole Valley High School where I excelled in football and track and was very active in school leadership and a parishioner at St. Joseph's Church.    I am a lifelong Contra Costa resident and whether it is Pinole, Hercules, Rodeo, Port Costa, Crockett, San Pablo, Richmond or El Cerrito - I know West County! 

I am a passionate “family-man” who enjoys spending as much time as possible with family and friends and especially my wife, Linda and my three children, Matthew, Monica and Lindsey and my parents who still reside in Rodeo.  Whether it is at home, family functions, cultural events, playing golf, cooking or camping I cherish every moment of this life I have been blessed with.
