I have a passion for new and emerging technologies and how to apply insurance as an enabler vs. hurdle to moving business strategies forward. If your insurance partner cannot answer the "why" as to the insurance purchasing decision and strategy, you should question "why" you are choosing that insurance partner.I bring over 23 years of commercial insurance experience as an underwriter and broker at regional and global firms. I have deep relationships with carriers around the globe to solve the toughest problems in the sharing economy, digital asset and financial services. I love to find solutions where they don't currently exist. I've helped multiple companies deploy into new markets both in the US and internationally. I'm an active investor in the digital asset space with a particular interest in Bitcoin and the Lightning Network.
