"Our mission at JWB Insurance Group LLC is to provide a unique experience in choosing insurance plans. We become the helping hand that goes above and beyond to assist our seniors, embodying our commitment to heartfelt service. JWB Insurance Group is not just an agency; we are your partner in navigating the complex world of insurance, ensuring you feel supported every step of the way." JWB Insurance Group LLC was founded by Jorge W. Briones, a driven entrepreneur with a profound personal journey that led him to the insurance industry. At the age of 25, while working as a banker at JP Morgan Chase, Jorge was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, a life-threatening condition that brought him face-to-face with the daunting complexities of the healthcare system. During his recovery, Jorge experienced firsthand the financial and emotional toll of medical expenses, inspiring him to delve deeper into the world of Medicare and insurance benefits. Driven by his own struggles and the difficulties faced by a host family member in affording medication, Jorge saw an opportunity to make a significant difference. His dedication to understanding and navigating insurance systems transformed into a professional calling, leading him to obtain an insurance license and eventually, to establish JWB Insurance Group. We will embrace the concept of service for every single one of our members, providing security to any investors that choose to belive in our core business model.
