Ernie Williams began his insurance career working with one of the world’s top insurance companies. After years of winning several awards from Allstate, he decided to open his own independent agency, which allowed him to broaden and diversify the scope of insurance options available.
The Ernie Williams Insurance Agency is the result of more than 30 years of business management and ownership experience. More importantly, it is the fulfillment of a personal goal—to help others know the importance of how insurance can protect them, their families, and their assets.
Early on in life, Ernie developed a passion for caring for others and learning how to serve his neighbors. He loves to talk to everyone he meets and believes that it is important to leave those he meets feeling better about themselves.
At Ernie Williams Insurance Agency, the focus is on taking the time to educate customers about the importance of having insurance for every facet of their lives as well as obtaining life insurance for the future. We used to say, “You’re in good hands.” Now, however, we say that we are “protecting your world.”
Lisa (Lisamarie) Shaw’s proudest accomplishments in life so far is being an amazing mom to two great children, London and Landon. Becoming an insurance agent was so natural because she listened and watched her dad (Ernie Williams) for years before accepting the challenge then became the very best insurance Agent in the State of Texas! (Grandpa’s opinion of course).
After graduating from Desoto High School in 1999 she found herself becoming a two state resident of (Oklahoma and Texas). This among other things has taught some interesting life lessons and obviously keeps Lisamarie awfully busy. In Oklahoma she along with the kiddos raise registered Angus Cattle their ranch and in Texas they raise show Goats in Waxahachie.
More than just a hobby Lisamarie loves “The State Fair of Texas and Big TEX!
