Planning Approach

Insurance, personal or commercial, is a crucial part of strong financial planning, but few people feel confident choosing the right policy for their goals. Insurance is also something that no one enjoys paying for, and Cassie understands that—so her goal is to ensure that every dollar is well spent. Through a thorough planning process, she makes sure her clients are well protected from risks, and she helps them understand exactly what kind of coverage they have, how the policy works, and whether they need to adjust their coverage to align with their goals. Together, they discuss the purpose behind the policy, and from there, Cassie helps her clients make confident, informed decisions in line with their overarching objectives.

Throughout the planning process, Cassie strives to make things easy for her clients. She takes a hands-on approach, helping people fill out applications, answering their questions, and providing support wherever she can. She understands the amount of trust it takes to delegate one’s financial responsibilities, and she takes her role as an insurance specialist very seriously. This is part of the reason she named her firm “Truest”—because her goal is to be “more than true” with her clients’ wealth, and Cassie strives to exemplify this idea through her work with clients.

Professional Specialty

Cassie began working with personal insurance, and quickly she developed a passion for commercial insurance and serving people in this industry. She understands the complexities of their insurance needs, and she enjoys making sure they select the right coverage to help them achieve their goals. She maintains ongoing relationships with her clients, not only guiding them through the initial policy-selection and application process, but communicating with them regularly to help them stay on track. She makes it a point to ask detailed questions about their businesses so she can make sure their insurance plans are continually aligned with their evolving needs.

Background & Experience

Prior to her career in financial services, Cassie spent several years in the restaurant industry in various roles such as assistant general manager and corporate trainer, national catering director, and representative for EZ Cater, a national company that coordinates catering contracts with large corporations like Apple and Microsoft.

Cassie entered the insurance industry in 2020, when the restaurant industry changed drastically during covid shutdowns. While it was a challenging time for many, she’s incredibly grateful for how it impacted her career, and she loves getting to help people through the work she does today.

Community Involvement

Cassie is active in her community by being members of both the Bastrop Chamber of Commerce and the Smithville Chamber of Commerce, and she is actively involved in multiple committees across the county. She was involved as a City Councilman for City of Smithville for 3.5 years and decided to take a step back for herself and family. One of the committees she is a part of is WSSISD (We Support Smithville ISD), which helps raise funds for teachers and staff members in the Smithville Independent School District. Through this committee, Cassie helps coordinate fundraisers and distribute scholarships that support educational growth in their community.

Personal Fulfillment

Cassie loves living in Smithville, Texas, a small town where seemingly everybody knows each other and supports each other. She and her husband Anthony have been together since 2008 (married since 2015), and they have three young children—Barrett, Lakyn, and Eli. The oldest, Barrett, loves baseball and science, while Lakyn is the princess of the family and enjoys playing softball, and Eli, is obsessed with being just like big brother and big sister and playing baseball like he is a 5-year-old. Their family loves spending time together, and they enjoy being outdoors—whether they’re on their boat, taking walks, or watching the kids play sports. In addition, Cassie is blessed with a great small group of friends. They all have children who get along and are close in age, the parents all love to hang out, and watching the love and friendships and relationships growing is such a great feeling.

Cassie’s faith is also very important to her, and her hope is that her love for the Lord shines through everything she does, professionally and personally. She and her family attend First Baptist Church in Smithville.
