How Michael is shaping future with confidence

“Throughout my career, I have prided myself on the development and growth of those around me and building true connections with clients and my community.

I have served on boards and supported nonprofit organizations such as the Legal Aid Society, Rising Risk Professionals, RIMS and the American Cancer Society.

Professionally, I have assisted clients to financially recover through catastrophic and devastating events such as tornadoes, fires, hurricanes and a number of other perils. In what is hopefully a once-in-a-lifetime event for a client, I can successfully help them navigate through and recover.”
