“As Independent Agents, our time was split between selling policies, servicing existing customers and everything that comes with running a business,” White-Twiggs added. “However, Brightway provides support in customer service, accounting, carrier relationships, marketing and more, so that our focus can be on providing expert counsel to each and every customer.”
Prior to their insurance careers, the dynamic duo first crossed paths while serving as Miami-Dade Law Enforcement Officers.

Howard earned a Bachelor of Science in Business from Central State University in Wilberforce, Ohio, while White-Twiggs, earned a Bachelor of Science in Business from Florida Memorial University in Miami Gardens, Fla., after graduating from American Senior High School in Miami Lakes, Fla.

Additionally, they are members of the Miami Lakes Chamber of Commerce, Florida Association of Independent Agents, National African-American Insurance Association and Miami-Dade Retired Police Officer Council. In their free time, they enjoy interior decorating and spending time with family.
