I can answer questions regarding commercial insurance. My experience is geared toward construction risks. General Contractors, heavy contstruction, subs and the real estate they build. I also have a great handle on risk management including, safety programs, contractual risk transfer, cost segregation, benchmarking, claims management, and subscribe to the Total Cost of Risk theory in cost containment.

10 Years in the 15th largest brokerage in the country.

Organizations

NJ Builders Association Builders League of South Jersey Construction Finacial Managers Association Sub Contractors Association of the Delaware Valley National Association of Home Builders

Education/Credentials
