President
CurrentAt BlueRock, we perform flood zone determinations. My personal mission is to make sure people aren't paying for flood insurance or high premiums unnecessarily. Just because part of your property is in a floodplain, your insured structure may not be—or there may be landscaping or other adjustments that may improve flood resilience and get your improvement(s) more favorable rates.Rather than blindly accepting a flood determination from an automated system, I perform a deep dive with mapping technology and, when necessary, involve my team of engineers and surveyors to examine actual conditions with precision. As the owner of Blue Rock, I bought the assets of Blue Rock Search Company and rebranded as Blue Rock Flood Services, while continuing to manage orders and customer relationships. I also digitized and streamlined the operations to improve accuracy and order turnaround time. This included:● Introducing computer generated mapping rather than hand mapping with approximate locations. ● Creating template scenarios for certificates.● Purchasing a high powered GIS software for better accuracy and record keeping, particularly for life of loan monitoring. ● Starting to offer a process to get buildings officially removed from the floodplain.
