“We are farmers! Bum bad um bum bum bum bum!” I went to interview Javier Villegas from Farmers Insurance. Javier Villegas is 36 years old from Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico. He currently lives in Wichita with his wife and daughter, also another child on the way. Javier graduated from college in Mexico, moved to the United States, and began a new journey in his life.
