I love risk. Not like jumping off a cliff with a little parachute kind, but the kind you insure. This isn't something that happens overnight; you really have to learn to love it. I love the challenge of pricing something that's intangible. But with all there is to love, I hate the inefficiency in commercial insurance. It's a fragmented, inefficient, fearful and greedy market that brokers can play with and manipulate. I'm a free market guy who sees huge opportunity in fixing the way commercial insurance is placed with insurance carriers. I'm building an online company called 'RiskBound' that has made strides in solving many of the problems facing insurance agents and carriers. If you have a passion for insurance, technology, and free markets and want to help out or just know more, please contact me.

My Day Job: I place property insurance in the Excess & Surplus Lines marketplace. This includes wind and earthquake exposed property, and risky residential properties. Have your insurance agent call us if you want us to take a look.
