Albert Smith

Founder/President, AI Solutions Architect/Engineer, Staff Writer

I began my professional journey in the financial sector as a Mortgage Broker, later expanding my expertise by becoming a licensed Insurance Broker. Following the events of 9/11 and the subsequent economic downturn in Houston, TX, I made a strategic career shift and entered the transportation industry. I established and operated a successful independent long-haul trucking business, owning and managing both the truck and trailer.

After a serious accident rendered my vehicle inoperable, I returned to the insurance industry and successfully rebuilt my agency, this time with a strong focus on integrating advanced technology. Today, my agency continues to generate a consistent stream of income, despite not writing a new policy in over seven years—demonstrating the long-term value and sustainability of the systems I put in place.
