WDW (Westbrooks Dugger & Westbrooks) Financial has been introducing individuals, families, and companies to financial products and services for a long time, beginning with our founding partner, James Westbrooks.
The early years for James were spent between a cotton farm in Ben Hur and a cattle ranch in Valley Mills, Texas. What he learned there was the value of family and the necessity of hard work.
The opportunity to leave the cotton fields came when his father, Bill Westbrooks, took a job in Waco as a salesman in the life insurance business. Bill stayed in the financial planning arena for 38 years as a full-time agent, continuing to practice even in retirement until his death in 1980. The insurance business led Bill to move the family to Mississippi, where he became district manager for east Mississippi and west Alabama for American National Insurance Company.
James finished high school in Meridian, Mississippi, and was offered debate scholarships from several universities. He chose Mississippi College, graduating in 1964 with degrees in Economics and Public Address. After six years with Continental Can Company, he followed his father’s footsteps into the financial planning business — starting what is today WDW Financial.
Today, as a comprehensive financial company, we offer a broad range of services for both individuals and companies with the same friendly, personal approach Bill pioneered years ago. We pursue success by combining a hands-on technique with an unyielding commitment to providing exceptional financial insight and focus to meet your needs.
