How did you get into the captive insurance business?
I fell into insurance in general. I graduated from college with a degree in education and history. So, I was a high school history teacher for a few years. Later, my wife and I moved out of state. I had a family member who owned an independent insurance agency and offered me the opportunity to work with them until I found a full-time job.
I found a passion for the business world. In 2011, I hung up my teaching hat, put on the business hat, and went back to school to get my M.B.A. Ever since then, I have been actively involved in the insurance industry. I started as an account manager for a property-casualty broker and did a wide variety of things, including policy issuance, certificate issuance, renewals, policy checks, and later moved up to client executive, where I was first introduced to captives.
