William grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and relocated to Colorado in 2017. He earned a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Marketing from the University of Dubuque and has been active in the insurance industry since 2018.

William is passionate about helping clients gain a clearer understanding of their insurance needs to ensure they are well-protected. He thrives on the challenge of finding the optimal solution for each unique situation, aiming to position his clients for future success.

In his spare time, William loves spending quality moments with his wife and dog, as well as exploring the stunning landscapes of Colorado.

Ash grew up in the picturesque beach town of Rockport, Texas, and has spent the past year enjoying life in Colorado. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture from the University of Houston. While he began his career in architecture, it was only after a year that he discovered his true passion and embarked on a new journey within the field.

Ash relishes the opportunity to tackle the unique challenges each client presents, particularly when it comes to crafting solutions for complex insurance needs.

When he's not at work, Ash can be found exploring the Garden of the Gods with his Shiba Inu, Kloey, staying active with his fitness routines, and engaging in community activities to foster meaningful connections.

Hudson was born and raised in Colorado and loves the mountain, but he is a bona fide water dog and loves the beach too.  Hudson has been hiking with his parents, Jenn & Brandon, ever since he was a youngster.  Hudson enjoys traveling by car, train, or airplane and has many destinations stamped on his puppy passport.  Since it is not practical to leave the mountains and fly to the beach all the time during the winter, Hudson discovered Jasper’s Splash Zone.  It is here that he learned the profession of Dock Diving.  Hudson trains every weekend and competes in the Dock Diving event at the Go Pro Mountain Games in Vail, CO.  Hudson just loves it and he’s become quite the competitor. 

Hudson’s escapades continue as embarks on two new adventures:  obtaining his Canine Good Citizenship certification and becoming a big brother to Greyson, his little human brother.  The Good Citizenship Program is designed to reward dogs who have good manners at home and in the community.  Hudson also takes his job at Brightway Insurance very seriously.  He goes to work everyday and greets customers while overseeing the other Brightway employees.  Hudson loves cheese, belly rubs, and having the ball thrown in the park behind the office too.  Hudson would love to meet you if you stop by for an insurance quote!
