Resume Highlights:
For the past ten years I have adjusted just about every major natural catastrophe that has come along. As an appraiser or an umpire, I call them as I see them – the loss is what it is – nothing more, nothing less. Likewise the carrier should not have to pay one penny more than it owes to its Insured for any covered loss, nor should they pay one penny less either. I have a firm grasp of procedural issues, ethics issues as well as legal precedents regarding the appraisal process. I understand the gravity of assuring that the process stays within the constraints placed on it from both the insurance contract as well as state law, therefore avoiding any possibility of having the award vacated. I look forward to serving you as either an Appraiser or an Umpire.
