Tell us about your hometown and family:
My primary Residence is in Powell Ohio, a small suburb north of Columbus. My wife and I also have a house in Hilton Head, South Carolina. We split our time between the two about 50/50. I’ve been married for 34 years to Susan and we have two adult children (Nate and Natalie)…both fully employed and self-sufficient (Thank Goodness!)
Why do you like working at Brokers Alliance?
The management team is committed to the use of technology in all aspects of the business; changing traditional processes to drive down cost / speed up the purchase of Insurance “process” for consumers. The team is committed to not only “staying current” in the marketplace, but has the vision to really change the way Insurance products are bought / sold.
Tell us something about yourself we may not know.
The majority of my career has been spent in large, Global Insurance companies which has afforded me great opportunities. I’m now looking forward to my continued desire to help smaller companies grow in the Insurance Marketplace.
If you could go back in time, what year would you go to? Why?
1981? I wouldn’t mind reliving my college days….that was pretty fun.
What is the best/worst gift you have ever received?
Best gift(s) were from my children when they were young…cards, paintings, art work, etc. They were great and I still have a lot of those gifts. Worst…can’t think of anything so horribly bad…
