Cousins Gordon<\/a> and Brent<\/a> Clark grew up in Dumas, Texas and farmed an operation their fathers started in 1965. In 2010, when Cam Silveus<\/a> approached them about buying insurance and then about selling it, Gordon and Brent made the decision on both fronts together.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe first bought insurance from Silveus Insurance Group (Silveus) and not long after that, at Cam\u2019s prodding, we got our licenses and began to sell it and it\u2019s become a big part of what we do,\u201d said Gordon. \u201cI don\u2019t even farm anymore; I just do this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Younger cousin Jared Clark<\/a> joined the pair five years ago and has taken on the bulk of responsibility for managing Silveus Financial services for clients. Silveus Financial<\/a> is the sister agency to Silveus Insurance Group and Jared works in lockstep with Gordon and Brent to offer both insurance and investment services, providing a total risk management solution.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Brent<\/a> and I started, we decided no matter who the agent of record was, we would take care of customers as a team,\u201d said Gordon. \u201cJared is part of that and we\u2019ve taken on several other people who work with us as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Clarks work with clients in the Texas Panhandle, Colorado, Kansas, southern Texas, and Georgia. Many times, two of the three cousins will travel together, see different clients during the day and then regroup in the evening.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve all had a lot of farming experience and I think that is one of the great advantages in building trust with customers,\u201d said Gordon. \u201cWe\u2019ve been on the other side of the risk management equation and we have found products that work really well for us \u2013 and we believe they will work well for our clients.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jared enjoys the comradery of working with family and cites teamwork as an important component, noting, \u201cHaving each other\u2019s backs is invaluable and difficult moments are few and far between.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Clark family is like a lot of families in agriculture,\u201d said Gordon. \u201cWe\u2019ve grown up with and been taught by several generations how to work hard and take care of the land, our business, and our family. We have a similar work ethic to our fathers and grandfathers. In our office, you never have to worry whether someone is going to step up and do the work; we know it will get done.\u201d<\/p>\n

Future plans for the Clarks include adding Brent\u2019s son-in-law Lawrence to the mix after he completes college, enabling them to serve more customers and continue to grow their business.<\/p>\n
