About James McCray

James, a Virginia native, graduated from high school, served six years with the U.S.A.F., and then spent 15 years working in the restaurant industry. Those 21 years of service and hard work built him a solid foundation of managerial and training skills. James would eventually depend on that foundation of knowledge and experience to venture into the financial sector. James began his Insurance Career in 2007 with Bankers Life and Casualty. He started as an agent and worked his way up in management to become a Branch Manager in Virginia Beach. In 2018, James left Bankers Life and began a practice as a Financial Advisor working with several insurance companies. To better address the needs of our growing Senior population, James obtained the designation of Certified Senior Advisor (CSA) and Long Term Care Specialist (CLTC). Licensed to practice in multiple states, James has built an impressive resume by finding solutions to complex financial concerns and assisting his clients with their insurance and retirement planning needs.

In his spare time, he loves to spend time with his four dogs and go to the beach.

James considers it a pleasure and a privilege to now join forces with his longtime friend and colleague, Marlene Woodyard, the owner of Woodyard Insurance Group, to continue our mission of servicing Conway and the surrounding communities.
