Tony May

As the director of commercial operations at Leavitt Group Texas Select, I’m responsible for developing our commercial insurance team and overseeing account management, support, and talent acquisition. One of the best parts of my job is helping my team reach group goals by taking an encouraging and supportive approach.

I started in the insurance industry in 1998 as a captive agent with Nationwide Insurance, where I built an agency from scratch. In 2020, I transitioned my agency to become independent, and in 2022, I joined forces with Leavitt Group Texas Select.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Business Administration from Stephen F. Austin State University and continue to educate myself in subjects relevant to my career. I’ve earned my Life Underwriter Training Council Fellow (LUTCF) designation and am a member of several professional organizations, including the Independent Insurance Agents of Houston and Texas, Professional Insurance Agents of Texas, and the Houston Builders Association.

My wife, Felecia, and I have been married for 37 years. We have two sons, Tucker and Austin, a daughter-in-law, Karly, and recently welcomed our first grandchild, Jenna Grace. I enjoy spending time with my family, especially now that our children are adults.

Outside of work, I am very involved with my church, Holy Spirit Episcopal Church, and currently serve on the Investment Committee, as well as act as a board member of the Holy Spirit Episcopal School. I have a weekend hobby farm on 10 acres in La Grange, Texas, that I love working on. It’s nice spending time outdoors, whether it's cutting down and processing trees, tending to my small garden, or working with the two steers I keep on the property. Additionally, I perform regularly as Elvis for the elderly, typically for those suffering from Alzheimer’s or dementia.
