Personal Note

Looking back on my insurance career, with half my time spent as an examiner and the other half spent as a supervisor, with the last three years as a Litigation Supervisor for Workers Compensation, I can understand the complexity and challenges our clients face on a daily basis in the insurance field. This also assists me in keeping my cases moving forward, and obtaining settlements at the earliest opportunity.
When I am not working on cases, I enjoy home-brewing beer and cooking. I had worked as a cook for various restaurants for over 15 years. I also am a National Beer Judge, judging numerous competitions, and have been the organizer for the Amador County Fair Beer Competition since 1995. When I have time, I also enjoy singing and playing my guitars.
