Life Before ECC . . .
I began life in the world of Insurance in 1981 as a Casualty underwriter for L.W. Biegler. I moved over to the brokerage side in 1983 by joining New Amsterdam Excess, a subsidiary of Fred S. James. In 1985 I co-founded Tri-City Brokerage where I spent the next 13 1/2 years. In 1999, I formed ECC Insurance Brokers.

Life at ECC . . .
I now spend 100% of my time in production and servicing my clients. My expertise is in four areas: 1) CGL/Products, 2) Umbrella Liability, 3) E&O and 4) D&O- the common denominator on all of the deals is “stick-to-the ribs” E&S, complex organizations and generally frequency of claim activity. I am a “geek” when it comes to insurance coverage and pride myself on delivering top-notch service and coverage knowledge and analysis on all deals. I have a large concentration of business in the Contracting and Manufacturing areas for CGL/Products and Umbrella and in the Financial Services and Tech sectors for E&O and D&O.

Life Outside ECC . . .
Married since 1984 to Susan, we have three children - Emma, Conor and Chelsea (get the name of our Company now?) Outside of being a parent and husband, I enjoy golf, traveling, reading, exercising and volunteering.
