Spencer Stilwell pursued a career in insurance and investments for the right reason: assisting families.
“On the surface, I get to assist families and their advisors with estate planning, wealth transfer, and business succession strategies,” Stilwell says. “But throughout that process, I get to hear stories of how families accumulated their wealth and how businesses were built. Each family has a unique story and journey – I’m fortunate to hear those stories, get to know these families, and become a trusted advisor on that journey.”
At 27, Stilwell has quickly moved up the ladder at HUB International Fort Worth. Starting as a financial services intern in 2019, Stilwell became the assistant vice president in July 2020 — a position he occupies to this day.
A TCU alum, Stilwell is an active member of the TCU Young Chancellor Advisory Board as well as the TCU Frog Club, which, according to its website, “strives to provide a world-class student-athlete experience through investments in scholarships, programs, resources, and facilities resulting in championship-level success.”
