Ted Ginsberg
Ted Ginsberg, a native Texan, earned his Finance degree from Texas A&M and paid for it in the trenches of the Aggie defensive line. He learned to fight through adversity. It was perfect training for a lifetime. Ted entered the financial world as an agent in 1974 with Statewide Insurance Agency, the family business. He committed himself in immersion insurance courses to gain expert insight in: Property and Casualty, Health, Life Insurance, Surety, Disability, and Prepaid Legal. In 1992 Ted wanted to share his knowledge with other agents, and moved from Tyler to Houston as Regional Manager for Time Insurance. He worked to prepare his agents for complex Health and Life Insurance situations. By 1995 his scope grew to include Variable Products, Retirement Plans, Investment Products, and 401k Planning. Through meetings with clients, insurance agents, CPAs, and attorneys, Ted’s experience led towards solutions in Business Structure, Estate Planning, and Executive Benefits. In 2008 Ted retired from Woodbury as Regional Vice President to work more directly with the business owner. He uses his extensive years of unique experience to grant his clients the reassurance and guidance they deserve.
