Yvette Villanueva Barrera, Certified Financial Fiduciary®
When Yvette Barrera was in middle school, she remembers thinking about what career she wanted and thought it would be both exciting and empowering to be a woman in the financial industry. After attending the University of Oklahoma on a volleyball scholarship, Yvette began her career in financial services working for a company with many senior clients. She learned that she could significantly impact pre-retirees and retirees by guiding them in their pursuit of a stable and healthy retirement.
Yvette’s goal is to create the most value she can for her clients by showing them how much she cares through her actions, while always placing their best interests above her own. Yvette acts as a counselor and educator for her clients, learning what is important to them and what they value in life, and why. Creating peace of mind for her clients is her driving force.

In 2008, Brooklynn Chandler Willy found her purpose and her passion in helping individuals and families plan for their future and reach their financial goals. She wanted to ensure that they could live their best lives, free from nagging financial concerns and hardships, with her help and guidance.
Brooklynn was led to this role by her own personal experience. She and her sisters lost their father and although he was a life insurance salesman, he did not have life insurance coverage, putting the family in a financial predicament. After following in her father’s footsteps in insurance sales, Brooklynn realized that she could do more than ensure families had the appropriate life insurance coverage. She saw the power in having a total and complete financial plan, guiding individuals and families forward with intentional preparation and risk management.
In launching her own firm, Texas Financial Advisory, and offering these services to her clients, Brooklynn is deeply aware of the depth of responsibility she has and she takes it to heart. It’s a job that comes with much trust and one that she always takes very seriously. Her calling to help others avoid financial dilemmas similar to the one she and her family experienced is what guides everything she and her team does.

My name is Michael Niedbala. I am married to my wonderful wife, Anna, and have three great and successful children, Brandon, Kaley and Sara. I have lived and worked in the Tampa Bay Area since 1993. I have had extensive experience in the financial industry for all of my 37 year career. From Public Accounting, to being a Chief Financial Officer, and now, for the last 22 years a Certified Financial Fiduciary®, Certified Retirement Planner®, Certified Annuity Specialist®, Certified Senior Advisor® and Independent Financial Advisor.
I really enjoy being an independent Advisor because it provides me with the opportunity to always do what’s in the best interest of you, the client, through offering conflict-free advice. I pride myself on my ability to listen to clients’ needs and goals and develop a plan that gets them where they want to go. I feel a sense of accomplishment when I know that my clients sleep well at night because we’ve set them on the right course.
My company is Insurety Retirement & Insurance Planning. Our main philosophy is SAFE MONEY & INCOME.It is one of conservatism, innovation, and safety for our clients. We, as a company, never, do something just to make money. We educate and help folks like yourself, to make informed decisions about your financial health and only offer advice or implement programs that benefit you and improve your position.
We always try to do the right thing, so that means that if you come to us and say we really want to do so and so, and after looking at the overall plan and seeing that it really doesn't fit, we’ll tell you we really don't think it fits. This philosophy has served me well the past 24+ years I've been in this business.
