Chad Courtois

Founder

Chad Courtois was born and raised in Acadiana, only leaving for a short time as he served four years in the United States Marine Corps from 1991-1995. He now resides in small, beautiful New Iberia with his wife Teresa and their children Jordan, Cole, Kauri and Creed.

“New Iberia gives us the cozy rural feel of the country, but the quick access to the great amenities of city life. It’s the best of both worlds.”

Chad is an avid hunter and loves the outdoors. He especially enjoys that time when he can share those early morning hunts and memories with his family and friends. He also equally enjoys traveling to new places with his wife and children, attending track and gymnastic meets with Jordan, Cole, Kauri and Creed.

“Our life is very full and I feel blessed and thankful for that. As Teresa and I raise our children, I think they teach us as much as we teach them.”

Chad has been in the Insurance and Financial Service Industry since he finished his career with the Marine Corps in 1995. His mission is to help educate families and share on how to obtain the peace of mind that comes with having Financial Security. The unique and proven strategies Chad has implemented for the past 20 years has provided the experience and trust individuals seek in a Financial Professional.

“My Friends and Clients work years and sacrifice a lot in the hope to secure an enjoyable future. It’s very rewarding and personal to me when I can help them accomplish that comfort and peace of mind that comes with Financial Security.”

Chad finds it very personal when it comes to helping Family and Friends reach a secure financial future, but also wants to make sure their community is strong that they live in. Therefore, Chad is very involved in his surrounding communities by serving on the following:
