What Colleagues Say

“We are incredibly fortunate to have someone like Brian on our team. As a top producer, he consistently sets the bar high—not only with his results, but with the way he approaches every relationship, both internally and in the broader community.”

Chris Ewton, VP of Texas

“Brian’s one of those guys you’re just glad is on your team. He’s fully bought into everything we’re building—our culture, our hustle, the way we show up for each other. His production speaks for itself, but what really sets him apart is how much he invests in the people around him.”

Francisco Saldaña, Regional President, Mid-West Territory

Q&A with Brian

Q: What initially brought you to the insurance industry?

A: I began my career in February 2010. My father owned a successful agency, Texas Insurance Agency, and I grew up watching him build meaningful relationships and solve real-world problems for clients. Joining Inszone last August—via the acquisition of San Antonio Insurance Services—felt natural because Greg Stevens, our San Antonio Branch Manager, was a former business partner of my father.

Q: How does your background contribute to your success?

A: I’ve experienced three separate M&A transitions and worked at local, regional, and national agencies in roles ranging from producer to sales and agency manager. This diversity helps me bring a well-rounded perspective to middle-market accounts and maximize cross-sell opportunities.

Q: Describe your approach to teamwork in three words.

A: Curiosity, Grit, and Authenticity. Curiosity fuels learning and stronger relationships. Grit means passion and perseverance through obstacles. Authenticity ensures genuine, positive connections built on trust.

Q: What sets you apart, and how does it benefit your team?

A: My approach is never transactional. I aim to be a true partner—adding value and reducing clients’ cost of risk. Staying educated about industry trends allows me to offer informed, tailored solutions that build trust and long-term success.

Q: Can you share a challenging situation you faced and how you overcame it?

A: Confidence is key, and I build it through consistent practice. Preparation—whether for client meetings or leading a team—gives me the edge to perform at my best.

Q: What hobbies do you enjoy outside of work?

A: My family loves the outdoors. We spend time wake surfing, fishing at the lake, and snow skiing in the mountains. I also volunteer at our church and with local non-profits.

Brian, your dedication and focus have been key to the success of your team and Inszone Insurance Services. We’re excited to see your continued success!
