History

Established in 1993.

Warren Barhorst founded the Barhorst Insurance Group in November 1993 in Jersey Village, Texas. What started out as a Nationwide Insurance agency with five employees is today a captive hybrid agency representing 50 insurance carriers and with more than 100 associates.

Barhorst rebranded his agency, Iscential, in January 2012. With a vision of bringing the focus back to the customer, he literally took his name «off the door» and created a new, customer-​centric brand with Iscential.
