Gordy Bunch
Position No. 1
Term Expires November 2020
Prior to moving to The Woodlands in 1995, I served four years of active duty in the US Coast Guard. My deployments included Hurricane Andrew Emergency Response Team, Bering Seas winter patrols, Mass Migration Operation Able Manner (Haiti), Human Trafficking & Drug interdiction, Search & Rescue. I am now the Capital Campaign Chair for the National Coast Guard Museum charged with preserving the Coast Guard’s history over its 230 years of service to our nation. Our board is comprised of past USCG Commandants, USCG Veterans and Department of Homeland Security Secretaries. Decorations and Medals include: Meritorious Unit Commendation with one gold star, National Defense Service Medal, Humanitarian Service Medal, Expert Rifleman, Expert Pistol, Sea Service Ribbon, USCG Good Conduct Medal, Coast Guard Achievement Medal and Secretary of Transportation’s Outstanding Achievement Award.
As a young veteran I founded The Woodlands Financial Group in 2001 with $10,000. TWFG has grown to become one of the largest independent insurance agencies ranking #27 out of 38,000 in the USA and #1 privately held in Texas and Louisiana for Homeowners and Auto insurance. The combination of military discipline and entrepreneurial experience has led to the strong “can-do” spirit of dedication and commitment with which I always serve my clients, employees, church, and community. I was honored to be selected as Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year by my peers in the Gulf Coast Region in 2015 – an honor shared in history by The Woodlands founder, George Mitchell, in 1992. I’ve also founded TWFG General Agency, TWFG Premium Finance Company, Evolution Managements Systems and The Woodlands Insurance Company.
Our family & TWFG sponsored major special events like the TWFG Gran Fondo for MS, TWFG Muddy Trails Bash for Kids, TX Ironman National Championship; and is a key contributor to Montgomery County Women’s Center, the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Toys for Tots, Interfaith of The Woodlands, YMCA, American Heart Association, Young Life, JROTC, CASA Child Advocacy, University of North Texas, Texas A&M, member of University of Houston-Downtown Advisory Board; Waterway Arts Council; Fellowship of Christian Athletes; The Woodlands United Methodist Church, The Woodland Christian Academy, Safe2Save, Abundant Harvest, Breaking Strongholds, Feeding the Frontlines, Mighty Oaks, Dynamo Soccer and the National Coast Guard Museum.
I am a lifelong Republican and have attended the Texas’s Republican State Conventions, voted in primaries, volunteered on campaigns and run as a Republican for Senate District 4 in 2014 and provide updates at local Republican Women’s group meetings.
Michelle and I have been married since 1995 and celebrated our 25th anniversary this past March 2020. Michelle is also a member of The Woodlands Republican Women. We have three sons with our 8th and 10th graders attending The Woodlands Christian Academy and our oldest son entering his Junior year at Texas A&M University.
