Who’s Behind Gilded Oak Insurance
About me – Luke Faulkner
I’ve been a licensed insurance agent since 2013, starting as a service representative at Safeco before moving into sales. Over the years, I’ve worked with dozens of carriers and written policies across auto, home, umbrella, life, health, and small commercial insurance, giving me a clear understanding of how coverage and claims really work.
I hold a degree in Business Management and Administration with a minor in Economics and served in leadership at Liberty Mutual Insurance, where I managed and mentored a team of agents while also developing training and education content to support their success. That experience sharpened my ability to simplify complex insurance topics and guide clients with clarity.
Today, I work with The Knowles Agency, a primarily Allstate-branded agency, while also having access to additional carriers. If I can’t personally provide the best solution, I’m happy to connect you with another trusted local independent or captive agent to keep your search moving forward. My goal is simple: to make shopping for insurance quick and painless, while ensuring you walk away with the best coverage at the best price — and the peace of mind that comes with being properly protected.
Why I Created Gilded Oak Insurance
I created Gilded Oak Insurance to be more than just a website — it’s a knowledge and educational hub designed to empower insurance consumers. My mission is to help people learn, compare, and make educated decisions about their coverage. I also know how frustrating it can be to find a quality local agent without being bombarded by spam or telemarketer calls, which is why facilitating real connections with a trusted agent is at the heart of what we do.
Our Mission: Smarter Insurance for Everyone
Simple steps to smarter insurance decisions.
Why Insurance Education Matters in Texas
Insurance can be especially confusing in Texas, where families and professionals face challenges like rising property values, severe weather risks, and changing auto insurance rates. Policies also work differently here: roof coverage often follows payment schedules, meaning the age of your roof affects how much an insurer will pay after storm damage. In addition, deductibles are commonly percentage-based in Texas, which can result in higher out-of-pocket costs than many expect.
That’s why insurance education in Texas matters. At Gilded Oak Insurance, we provide smarter insurance education to help Texans understand these unique rules, avoid costly surprises, and connect with trusted agents who can explain coverage in plain terms.
Our Promise to You
At Gilded Oak Insurance, we believe trust is at the heart of smarter insurance education. That’s why we make a simple promise: your information is never sold. Unlike many websites that trade your details to lead lists and call centers, we protect your privacy and only connect you with licensed partner agents we know and trust.
This means you can explore insurance education in Texas with confidence, knowing you won’t be bombarded by endless telemarketer calls. Instead, you’ll receive the right balance of knowledge, guidance, and a direct introduction to agents who respect your time and your needs.
With Gilded Oak Insurance, our promise is clear — no gimmicks, no spam, just smarter choices and real connections.
