As an Aviation Insurance Broker I work to find the best possible insurance coverage for my clients at the most competitive rates. This is a very specialized avenue in the insurance world and it is best handled by brokers who have a strong aviation background.

As a Frontline Manager I was responsible for the air traffic operations in part of the airspace making up Kansas City Center. At any given time I would have 10 - 15 Air Traffic Controllers working under my supervision. It was a constantly changing environment being affected by weather, major traffic flows, staffing, as well as demands on the system for special operations with the military and government activities. We projected 1-3 hours ahead to evalute workload and to insure we had the right controllers in place at the right time to handle the high volume and complex traffic situations. It was a very exciting and rewarding profession. There are many times I miss the daily challenges this career presented, but there is a reason why they make the Air Traffic Control workforce retire at an early age.
