Carrissa Bradford

Howdy, I’m Carrissa and I believe insurance should feel personal, not transactional. I focus on crafting tailored coverage for folks in the hospitality world including, food and beverage, social service, medical and aging service industries. But more than that, I’m here to build real relationships and offer peace of mind through policies that truly reflect who you are and what you care about.

What sets me apart?
• Industry Insight: I have lived your challenges —tight budgets, high turnover, regulatory red tape, and the constant fear of lawsuits or claims.
• Tailored Protection: I craft custom strategies that align with your values, operations, and long-term goals.
• Proactive Risk Management: From slip-and-fall claims to cyber threats, I help you anticipate and prevent problems before they happen.
• Personal Connection: As a mom, business owner, and community leader, I bring empathy, clarity, and fierce dedication to every client relationship.

Your pain points, solved.
• Hospitality & Entertainment: High liability exposure, liquor liability, employee safety, and unpredictable customer behavior.
• Medical & Aging Services: Regulatory compliance, malpractice risk, and protecting vulnerable populations.
• Social Services: Funding constraints, volunteer liability, and safeguarding sensitive data and people.

I understand that your business isn’t just a job—it’s your livelihood, your legacy, and your passion. I aim to be your faithful partner in protection, your advocate in uncertainty, and your peace of mind when the unexpected strikes.

My journey into insurance wasn’t a straight line—it was built on a lifelong passion for service and connection. I grew up in a family of restaurateurs, where I learned the value of hard work, honest communication, and creating memorable experiences. That foundation led me to launch a nonprofit supporting trade training for underserved communities, and to earn licenses in real estate, personal, commercial, health, and life insurance.

Today, I live in Texas with my husband and our four amazing kids. We made the move from Bakersfield, California back in 2012, and we’ve been soaking up every moment since—whether we’re hiking, boating, traveling, or just enjoying a quiet day at the lake. Our family motto? Live fully, love deeply, and make every adventure count.

If you’re looking for someone who sees your business as more than a policy number, let’s connect. I’d love to learn your story and help you protect what matters most.
