I'm James.

I am an Independent Insurance Broker and Financial Advisor. I live on Padre Island and grew up in the Coastal Bend area. When I am not working I'll be surfing, fishing, or travelling. I have run my own business for almost two decades. Read below to find out more about who I am and why you should work with me...

I ACT WITH INTEGRITY

Whichever Medicare plan you choose I receive the same compensation; it is not in my interest to recommend expensive plans. Instead my priority has always been selecting the optimum plan for each individual whilst avoiding stress and confusion. In many circumstances I have saved clients thousands on their annual medicare costs by selecting a better, and cheaper plan.
I DREAM BIG

Make your money work for you now and in the future! Through decades of hard work, careful planning, and a little luck, I have been able to leverage my finances to enable a lifestyle of surfing, fishing and traveling. I will help you realize fiscal success with a tailor made plan centered around the lifestyle you desire.
I LIKE MY JOB

I chose this career 20 years ago whilst living with my Grandparents and helping them transition into retirement. My disappointment at the poor service I witnessed them receive inspires me to always do better. My appointments run as long as needed, and I always pick up the phone.
I AM A PROUD LOCAL

As a native Texan, I have spent almost all of my life on the Coastal Bend. My grandparents moved to Port Aransas 35 years ago to realize their retirement dreams. I want to help my clients do the same in this special place that we call home.

My knowledge and experience of wealth management and medicare began at 18 when I acquired my life, health and annuities license. Working alongside my father I learned the skills necessary to instil confidence in my clients, some of whom I have now served for decades.

Self funding my degree in Finance and Marketing, I balanced attending classes with a career as a catastrophe insurance adjuster, extensively travelling the nation. This work ethic and determination allowed me to graduate debt-free from Texas A&M College of Business. In my limited free time I travelled the world in search of good surf; a life time pursuit that continues to inspire me.

Working the following decade in catastrophe insurance taught me patience and compassion;  often managing stressful situations in which clients had lost their homes and businesses. Later I transitioned further into the financial industry, becoming an investment advisor and a series 65 licensed fiduciary.

Today I am passionate about enabling entrepreneurs and professionals to reach their financial goals, using a culmination of my experience, work ethic and creative approach to achieve success. My work in Medicare continues to bring me personal satisfaction as I develop client relationships that last a lifetime.

I continue to prioritise my adventures on the ocean such as surfing, freediving, fishing offshore or in the bay, as it remains a unique place where I can rediscover peace of mind.
