From day one, we have always been family. It’s still very much a family atmosphere no matter how big we get.
Twenty Years of TWFG
A Message From Gordy
Krysta Jones | Marketing Coordinator/Content Writer
TWFG has something big to celebrate this year…20 years of successful growth and innovation! By ensuring that all of our TWFG family, employees, and customers alike, are always cared for, TWFG has managed to build a trusted name in insurance. Branch Manager, Betty Loick, has been proud to be part of such a caring and inclusive company environment since she joined TWFG Insurance on day one. “From day one, we have always been family. It’s still very much a family atmosphere no matter how big we get,” said Loick while reflecting on her twenty years with us. TWFG Insurance is looking forward to building on the last two decades of sustained growth by continuing our culture of caring and history of innovation. “Looking forward, we are excited to see how our new virtual branch model, inspired by the increased shift to digital platforms during the pandemic, will provide more flexibility and opportunity for prospective entrepreneurs within the insurance industry,” said Bunch while discussing what is next for TWFG Insurance. Please watch the video above for a special 20th-anniversary message from Gordy.
I worked with Gordy back at American National, and joining Gordy at TWFG was the best decision I ever made. When TWFG first started, we had a limited number of carriers, but Gordy worked hard to provide us more access while allowing us to run our businesses the way we wanted.

First year in Tomball (2010)
October 4, 2020, I celebrated my 17th year with TWFG. I started at The Woodlands Financial Group after leaving a management position with a captive company. After reviewing the industry at the time, it seemed like independent was the way to go. I reviewed options and found out Gordy had started an agency. I went in to talk with him, and off we went. The early days of onboarding were a box of computer discs and a small notebook of contacts and codes. We’ve come a long way! When we started the agency, my husband was a student at the University of Houston, and we had three young boys. It was a challenge! Over 17 years, we have been provided with opportunities we would never have had elsewhere. My family has had opportunities to travel and stay in unique places. Our earliest trips were to agent conventions with shared rooms and pizza on the front steps at 2 a.m.; our latest was touring the White House and Washington DC. We have learned and grown, and this agency has allowed us to provide financial security for our family. Most importantly, it has all been done with family. Good times and bad, we’ve always had our TWFG Family to back us up!

I loved being a TWFG agent. I had been an insurance agent for many years, and certain agencies would have quotas or a certain way the agency needed to be run. Gordy made it easy to create our own agencies at whatever size we wanted to be. It was a lot of fun in the early days of TWFG and we were a close-knit group. I appreciate all the years I had at TWFG; it was just time for me to retire in 2020.

I’ve had the pleasure of being part of TWFG Insurance for 18 years now. I started as an employee then bought out the branch from my former employer. It’s been a blessing to work with TWFG. It has opened many doors for me, especially with the carriers we have access to. I specialize in transportation, and the carriers I have through TWFG have helped me reach my success! My business is a blessing, and it provides security for my children’s future.

Christmas Party (2019)
My time at TWFG has allowed me to hire college interns regularly. In 2018, I hired UT Dallas student Joshua Dunaway. He did a GREAT job auditing my eVo database and ensuring we had all necessary documents added, correct policy terms, etc. Joshua had the support of our beloved office mascot, Kirby Bernard Newman. We lost our sweet Kirby B. last year in March at the ripe age of 17. He is dearly missed by the staff and our customers, who would often stop by the office to see Kirby. Though the last year has been challenging, we were able to host a fun little office party with staff, friends, and customers in 2020. Who knew just 90 days later we would be in lockdown!
