Bill Carvajal is a second generation insurance businessman in El Paso with a renowned 30+ year insurance career. Bill learned the marketplace working with his father at Associated Insurance Agency (AIA), building his knowledge and honing his skills in analyzing needs and providing the right solutions and products. In the 1990s, he and his brother Steve took over the business and grew it into the 3rd largest insurance brokerage in El Paso by acquiring other agencies such as J. Paul Henderson and Pineda-Roedehaver. Their success led Brown & Brown, one of the top 10 national brokerages, to purchase AIA and appoint Bill to run the El Paso branch.
In 2010, Bill became a founding member of Mt. Franklin Insurance Agency. Informing Mt. Franklin, Bill says “I am excited for this opportunity that allows me to return to my roots and spend more time on the aspects of my job that I love: strengthening the El Paso community by building relationships and delivering services that make our businesses more secure.”
Bill holds insurance licenses in the States of Texas and New Mexico. He has achieved the distinguished Certified Insurance Counselor (CIC) designation.
Bill is married with one son and enjoys spending his free time in the outdoors of West Texas.
