Profile & Recent Cases

I have thirty years experience as a General Agent for several of the leading Property and Casualty Insurers in the U.S as well as overseas which qualify me as an expert on most insurance issues. I was the Director of Insurance Education for ten years at the Community College of Aurora until I resigned in September 2002.

The college, in conjunction with a local university, offers the only Bachelors Degree with an emphasis in Insurance in the State of Colorado. When you retain our firm you get a double benefit, the benefit of our collective expertise and the creditability of an educator.
