Ronya Weadock
Owner, Licensed Insurance Agent
San Angelo, TX
Meet Ronya Weadock!
She’s the face and fearless leader of WeadCo Insurance. Hailing from Kerrville, Texas, Ronya's roots lie in a fourth-generation ranching family, instilling in her a strong work ethic and a drive for success. Ronya attended Texas A&M University where she met her husband, Chris (at the Dixie Chicken to be exact!). From their family retail store, custom limestone business, to their pool servicing business, the two are no strangers to the world of entrepreneurship.
During her 9 years with Texas Farm Bureau Insurance, Ronya saw an opportunity for expanded coverage options to better suit her clients. The dream of having her own independent insurance agency came to life in June of 2021. Having contacts and close friends in the industry, Ronya worked with Texas Agency Alliance, who assisted in getting WeadCo recognized with some of the nation's largest insurance carriers. Within a few short weeks of opening shop, Ronya sold her first policy from the floor of an empty office.
While her family has dedicated much of their time over the past two and a half years to WeadCo, Ronya still prioritizes time away from the office. Whether it be fishing on the coast, watching college football, or traveling the country, her family is always by her side.
Ronya’s dreams for WeadCo are only growing! Despite industry challenges, she continues the expansion across Texas, New Mexico and Arizona while keeping her focus on education and empowering client’s decision making. Beyond agency growth, Ronya continues to dedicate herself to the incredible team she has built, spurring them towards success and continually providing the tools needed for them to be at the top of the industry.

Mackenzie Weadock
Growth & Ops. Manager + Life Insurance Specialist
Boerne, TX
Meet Mackenzie Weadock!
She entered the insurance industry in August 2022, taking over the operations and administrative tasks of WeadCo. Mackenzie swiftly expanded the agency’s portfolio to include life insurance, dedicating herself to the continuous growth of her business.
Whether it be traveling the state showing livestock, leadership positions at TAMU, or witnessing her parents' businesses from a young age, her life experiences have inspired a passion for premier customer service, seeing people as more than a client. “Seeing both of my parents own their own businesses my entire life has had a huge impact on me, learning that what you put in is what you get out.” Mackenzie went on to graduate from Texas A&M University with a bachelor's degree in Agricultural Communications & Journalism.
Mackenzie thrives in her role, cherishing the opportunity to collaborate with her mother, Ronya. Her enthusiasm for people and her ability to grasp the unique stories of her clients spurs her commitment to the significance of life insurance.
When Mackenzie is not working, she’s most likely with her puppy, Georgie, hanging out with family and friends, or playing games like monopoly deal or pickleball.
Mackenzie has big dreams for WeadCo and plans to continue to niche down their market, providing even more elite service and coverages. She keeps a client-centric approach, while equally prioritizing the relationships with her internal team.
Mackenzie brings a positive culture and dedication to the team and we are so lucky to have her.
