Janet has her Associates of Science in Child Development.  She also holds her Health and Life licenses.  She began working in insurance in 2007, as an Employee Benefit Consultant.  Then several years later, started her own insurance agency, GWT Insurance Services.  She works closely with special needs trust attorneys and fiduciaries.   She decided to join Bridlewood Insurance, after working for another large agency that was out of state and provided little to no support to their agents. She started to look for a local agency and came across a flyer from Bridlewood.  She met with the President, Jeff Wetzel, and felt that he and his organization would be a good fit for her.  She says that the Bridlewood team has been very inspirational and her experience has been educational, and she is looking forward to growing her Medicare business with their help.  Medicare is very confusing to many seniors, and Janet enjoys helping them understand the in’s and out’s of the Medicare system.

Janet was born in Mesa, AZ , but lived in Prescott as a child.  Her dad moved their family to San Diego in 1975, as he continued to grow his insurance business.  Janet met and married her husband, Fred, in 1997.  They each had a son, so it was a ready-made family of 4.  Fred, a naval officer, was transferred to Alice Springs, Australia in 1998, where they had their first child together.  When they were transferred to Monterey, California, Fred obtained his Master’s degree at the Naval Post Graduate school, and they also had their second and last son.  They now have 4 sons and 2 grandsons . . . and NO girls!  Fred retired from the Navy in 2019 after serving 35 years, and Janet couldn’t be more proud.

“Glamping” is a big part of their family’s lives.  They have an RV and their second oldest son has a camper that they take to the desert.  They go to the dunes and ride dirt bikes and side-by-side cars.  They also love to go the river boating.  Although they are “empty nesters”, but all the boys live close by.
