Dal Watson
President & Owner
On January 1, 2019, Dal completed a transaction with Don Crawford to purchase his insurance agency and office building. With Don’s gracious permission, we will continue to call this agency Don Crawford & Associates. Dal has over thirty (30) years of insurance industry experience and works with employers in Texas and New Mexico.
Dal has lived in Midland/Odessa for over 50 years, raised family here and is committed to this area. He understands the ups and downs of our energy economy. Our agency is here to serve you and your business and find solutions that meet your needs.
Outside of work, Dal has had a lifetime passion involving various sports as a player, parent, coach, broadcaster, and sports official. Dal played football at Texas Tech in the 1980’s. Today, Dal is still actively involved in sports, but now as a football and basketball referee as well as a baseball umpire to give back to this area’s sports communities.
Our Experience Makes the Difference!
We are so blessed to have a wonderful staff of customer service professionals here at our agency that collectively have over 100 years of combined employee benefit industry experience. They are by far the most experienced and knowledgeable account management team in the area.
