Meet Our Staff

I began my career in insurance in 1985, when my father, Ismael Rangel, a successful debit life insurance agent, suggested I try selling life insurance. I was a meat cutter at the time, and the store where I worked was going to close, so I decided to give it a go. I sold life insurance for seven years with American National Insurance Company. In 1993, I was offered a position with State Farm agent Dan Lloyd in Del Rio where I learned about property and casualty insurance, studied and got my general lines and life insurance licenses. After ten years with Mr. Lloyd, I began an internship with State Farm and started an agency in Laredo. TX. where I stayed for four years. In 2006, I moved back to Del Rio and opened Rangel Insurance Agency. I was the owner, staff, and janitor. The first few years were rough, but thanks to my wife’s (Diana) support we made it through. I also owe much appreciation to my daughter Karina, who joined our agency in 2015. She is my right hand and has been a great asset to our agency. Besides our daughter Karina, we have a son Alex, who works for Apple in Austin and three grandchildren. We enjoy traveling, attending classic rock concerts, classic cars and family time.

I started this insurance journey in 2015 after moving back to Del Rio after being away a few years in North Carolina, even though I was unsure on whether or not this role would suit me. Six years later, I can say that I am a third generation insurance agent and pretty happy with my surroundings. I’m thriving in a family owned business that, thanks to my dad, has grown to serve a good part of the city on mostly word of mouth. When not working you can find me at cheer watching my daughters tumble and challenge gravity or at soccer games watching my boy exhaust himself. If it were up to me though, I’d be near a body of water just enjoying a swim with my kids every weekend.

I was raised in Del Rio and graduated with the Del Rio High School Class of 1979. I have worked in sales / management for over 40 years and was the store manager at the Del Rio San Antonio Shoe Store, (SAS), for fourteen years. I enjoyed my co-worker and the customers that I met while working there. I also worked at a women’s shelter where I really enjoyed helping families get through very difficult times. I’ve been married to Juan I. Rangel owner/ agent at Rangel Insurance Agency for almost 38 years. We Have 2 children and 3 grandchildren. When not working, I enjoy traveling, music, family time and eating out.

I joined Rangel Insurance in October 2017 as a customer service representative. I take my role here very seriously and my customer’s complete satisfaction is my number 1 priority. When I’m not at work I enjoy spending time family or relaxing with a good book.
