Hello All!
Just wanted to drop a quick line that I finally joined the site and stopped lurking.
In a nutshell, I was in insurance for many years, and left in 2008, and now I am looking to be an independent broker.
In my "past life" I worked in personal lines claims for Progressive Insurance, and then got headhunted to work for a large E&S Carrier, in their Claims Dept. I handled multi-lines for moderate to complex claims issues for many years in: Transportation/Brokerage/GL (General Liability)/Specialty books of business; moved to Legal and did some regulatory work; worked in Premium Audits for awhile, and then left the industry to do some other things.
Now, I'm baaaaaack. I have some contacts in underwriting and claims at my former company; so, I am hopeful they will be able to make some introductions for me to GA's & MGA's. I will be looking initially in a niche primarily of restaurants/bars/taverns and commercial auto. I don't intend on doing any personal lines at all (I have a friend who I could refer these too, if necessary, as she's licensed in most states).
I look forward to asking questions and hopefully helping others. I will be taking my P&C License here in Colorado in September (my license expired about a year ago, and I failed to renew it :(....didn't think I'd be getting back in insurance again!) Anyway, upon a. successful completion to obtain my P&C license and b. successfully getting licensed, then I can ask more questions, since then I'll know I can forge ahead!
Appreciate reading all of the information I have for the past three months here, and looking forward to contributing and asking questions too!
