I have more than 35 years of insurance experience in various executive capacities, non-profit and industry related board experience, community service as Assistant Scoutmaster and a Big Brother. I have a B.A. from Whitman College and an MBA in Healthcare from Baldwin-Wallace University in Ohio. Two of my four kids are working professionals, one is a Lance Corporal in the United States Marine Corps, and a fourth enters college this Fall.  Oreo the Shi-Poo our canine kid brings continuous joy to our lives.

 

A Healthy Foundation

• Healthy communities and business environments enrich all Washington residents. 

• Advances we make to make insurance more affordable, accessible and easy to navigate better equip people and businesses to make ends meet.

• Sure it's fun to point fingers, but there's three pointed back:  we are stronger together, and we need a healthy Washington insurance market to equip our people and businesses to compete in a global economy.

 

Specific Areas of Focus
 

Affordability

• Identify and mitigate root causes driving up costs. 

• Review opportunities to reduce risk and associated costs.

• Examine best practices and available opportunities to create value.

 

Coverage Access

• Find opportunities to broaden market participants

• Analyze environmental data and risk mitigation strategies to attract and maintain market choices.

• Encourage innovation and convenience.

 

Service Experience

• Consumers should expect a consistent level of service, not the runaround.

• Prompt, courteous and helpful service can be achieved when we create basic standards when some of the best service organizations on Earth collaborate (many are located right here in Washington).
