I’m Randy Lovelace, owner of The Woodlands branch office of Paragon Independent Insurance Agencies, Inc. I’ve been in the insurance business for just over 30 years. In 2004 Paragon was formed and I opened the very first Paragon location in Nederland, TX.

I relocated my office to The Woodlands, TX on Jan 1st of 2006 and started the process of meeting new friends through The Woodlands Area Chamber and other area networking groups. I’m married to my wife Dawn Candy. We have three kids between us, with a combined total of 7 grandchildren.

Theresa Parker, native Houstonian, U of H grad in journalism, spent 30+ years writing for corporations’ communications departments. I run Polkabeat inc. which owns polkabeat.com and Texas Polka News. I started polkabeat.com 10 years ago in tribute to my dad, a polka lover. My heritage is Czech and German so I grew up going to polka dances. I bought the Texas Polka News newspaper in 2014, so I have been publishing it for five years. The paper actually started in 1987, so we recently celebrated the 30th anniversary.
