Biography
I am a Property & Casualty actuary with over 35 years of experience in insurance, reinsurance and consulting. I work in both the traditional and alternative (e.g., captive, MGA) markets. I work mainly in commercial lines, with some personal lines. I also work in the legacy space, and my experience includes being the first-ever Independent Expert for a US Insurance Business Transfer. I also have been involved in writing climate change curricula for P&C actuaries.
