Date: February 17, 2025

Wylie Hawkins knows the power of perseverance. Through the struggles of his youth and upbringing, he discovered how hard work and dedication to service builds a legacy. Growing up in two households after his parents’ divorce, he learned something different from each parent. His mother, showed him that nothing replaces genuine care and attention, despite her own significant financial struggles. His father, an entrepreneur, taught him that success requires relentless effort.

Throughout his life, Wylie faced significant economic challenges that tested his resilience. At a pivotal moment, he says God answered his prayers with an opportunity in the insurance industry. With a new path in front of him, Wylie embraced the business wholeheartedly, focusing on serving others while building a strong foundation for his future business, Hawkins Insurance. His mantra is “Treat everyone like your momma!”

Now, as a leader, Wylie’s passion for service extends beyond the business. Every Friday, he and his team volunteer with the Salvation Army, providing food and essential supplies to those in need. He remembers how fast life can turn upside down, and his chaotic childhood gave him a deeper understanding of the importance of community support and stability. So he is committed to making a difference for those who aren’t so fortunate.

With Integrity by his side, Wylie’s impact is only growing. He dreams of expanding his community outreach, deepening his involvement in his church and one day coaching basketball to help kids develop the skills they need to overcome life’s challenges. His journey is a testament to the power of perseverance, service and lifting others along the way.
