Ashley Myles

Ashley Myles is a partner at Lay and Williams. Her dad is Bob Lay and owns Lay and Williams. Ashley always admired how her dad has helped people better understand what they were purchasing when looking at their health insurance options as she grew up. Her dad was always present in Ashleys life and at all the school and sporting events for 5 children while also providing for his family in a way that not many families have. Once Ashley had a family of her own she wanted to be able to do the same for her family and she went and got her license in 2017.  She is a member of Cowtown Executive Association networking group.

Ashley attended Covenant Christian Academy where she and her team were a national
cheerleading champions three times. She then attended Anthem College. She now volunteers at Covenant where her children are now attending. She is on the annual gala fundraising committee, the new family welcoming committee, the alumni committee, and the homecoming committee.  She also enjoys attending the Mom’s Book Club.

When Ashley is not working at the office and not volunteering, she is either crocheting a gift for her loved ones or creating a list of places that she would one day like to visit or she is in the kitchen with her husband trying new recipes with the meat they harvested on the family ranch.
