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”.

HOW DID YOU GET INTO THE INDUSTRY: "I was in college, and an insurance company came on our campus to recruit students. It sounded interesting. I had wanted to be a pediatrician, and I’ve always had a fetish for finance. I needed a job and I could combine finance with health care."

 

 

THE BEST ADVICE YOU’VE EVER RECEIVED: "I’ve been advised to always do business with integrity; that a broker has to be fast on his or her feet; and to always be technically competent—knowing your contract language and policy forms. Understand what you sell from a brokerage perspective. From an underwriting perspective, you need to understand the industry you underwrite"

 

 

ADVICE FOR THOSE STARTING IN THE INDUSTRY: "Always try to maintain your integrity and reputation because at the end of the day that’s all you have. You must always maintain your integrity and dignity and treat people the way you want to be treated."

 

 

WHAT YOU WANTED TO BE PROFESSIONALLY WHILE GROWING UP: "I wanted to be a pediatrician."
