Floyd attended Northside Baptist Church while growing up in Fort Stockton, where he accepted Christ as his Savior and met Jan. Floyd was always active in the churches he attended, being a deacon, Sunday School teacher of all ages, pianist and organist. Floyd began his career by opening a jewelry shop in Brownwood where he designed and created exquisite jewelry.

He became interested in insurance as a Long Term Care Specialist in Brownwood, Texas working at Insurance Specialist in 1982. He moved to San Angelo in 1997 to open his own business Floyd C.
