Bio: After graduating from Lawrence Tech, I started my lifelong career with Allstate Insurance Company. It took on many different jobs and career paths. I was the Assistant Controller in Michigan and then started a Homeowner Underwriting Department, ending in the Claims Department. I was involved in training and development of new company processes. This had me traveling the country and recently in the State of Florida extensively. Many titles and responsibilities, but the one I enjoyed most was Property Claim Manager on the National Catastrophe Team. I was called on to set up offices and units in different states to settle flood, hurricane, earthquake and other national disaster losses. This was extremely rewarding being able to help people trying to get their lives back to a normal. My career lasted over 38 years until I retired in 2013, but have been called back 3 times on a consultant basis.

I have been married 40 years this year to my wife, Kaye. We have 2 children, Bruce and Wendy. We enjoy spending time and travelling with our kids. The most memorable was when we went to Ireland and Scotland with Bruce and his wife Linda.
We relocated to Florida in 1992 and haven’t looked back since. Don’t miss shoveling those partly cloudy days off my driveway in Michigan. Only worry now is what days we go to see Mickey or Universal Studios.
