John Godbee

Our client satisfaction is the gauge by which we measure success. I’m a detail guy, so I spend extra time educating my clients on our services and products, even if it isn’t competitive for us.

I established Godbee Insurance Agency after retiring from engineering in 2003. Insurance is a fascinating field and serving Texans with knowledge and choices for their insurance was something I wanted to do. I have always been a problem solver and help make policy selection simpler for our clients, so they can make decisions based on cost knowledge as well as level and depth of coverage.

Our agency recently joined Leavitt Group because our philosophies are complementary. This partnership has allowed us to keep our local ownership while gaining the support of a strong, national company.

I grew up in Abilene, Texas and attended Oklahoma University and University of Houston for engineering development. My wife, Debbie, and I moved to the Sugar Land area in 1992 and raised our two girls here. We have served as volunteers, coaches, and commissioners for “Sugar Land Girls Softball” and the “Upwards” athletic programs. We also both enjoy giving back to our community by participating in almost all citizen first-responder programs imaginable. Additionally, I played the acoustic guitar for Sugar Creek Baptist Church for 23 years and that was fun!

I love spending time with our daughters, two grandkids, and three grand-dogs. We like to play sports, barbecue, woodwork, play board and card games, and put together “MacGyver” projects.
