BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Insurance agent steps in to give NFL coverage on the field

A Michigan insurance agent earned his stripes recently when he was hired to be a National Football League referee.

Alex Kemp, who operates Kemp Insurance Sure Agency Inc. in Greenville, Michigan, has worked as an official in the NFL for four years. Next season, Mr. Kemp and Shawn Hochuli will succeed retiring referees Ed Hochuli, Shawn Hochuli’s father, and Jeff Triplette.

Mr. Kemp was a side judge and referee in the Big Ten Conference, working several postseason games, including as a side judge for the 2011 BCS National Championship Game.

Refereeing is also a family affair for Mr. Kemp, whose late father, Stan, was a side judge and referee who was succeeded as referee in 1992 by none other than Mr. Hochuli.
