OUR STORY

we are a UNIQUE firm!

WJA was founded in 1980 by Willie Alexander upon his retirement from a nine-year career with the NFL’s Houston Oilers, and after seven years as a lead broker for several major insurance companies. At the time, Mr. Alexander specialized in life insurance, group health insurance and estate preservation. However, he expanded the firm’s expertise to employee benefits consulting in response to clients’ needs for cost-effective group benefits for their employees. This expansion was done through a commitment to attracting and retaining talented professionals with the skills necessary to lead any employer to effective HR solutions.

Now entering its second generation, WJA continues its founder's entrepreneurial spirit to deliver valuable benefits and human resources services to employers of all sizes in Texas and beyond.
