“I’m drawn to lines that require real thought. These risks demand a genuine understanding of how a business operates — how inventory moves, how high-value assets create exposures that shift daily, and how a property’s value evolves over time. No two risks are ever really the same.”

“I enjoy working in complex risk because it lets me look at a variety of risks and companies — not the same class every day. We particularly have success in manufacturing and wholesale with US sales including risks with sales offices or warehouses in the US. We prefer to review the risk from the primary up but are also very successful when reviewing excess layers as we have the capability of putting up over $100M on an excess basis, depending on the operations.”

“What I enjoy most about these sectors is the variety. Manufacturing can mean anything from a small fabrication shop to a large industrial operation. Construction brings a different mix of contractors, project types, and site conditions every time. Rail brings a level of operational complexity and a level of regulation that takes time to really understand. And gas storage and wholesale has its own distinct infrastructure and operational risks that set it apart from everything else. In all four areas, my view is simple: the better you understand the business, the better you can serve the client.”
