Bio

Insurance professional with over 20+ years experience in workers' compensation, with an emphasis on self-insurance.

I currently work for Marsh, as part of their Workers' Compensation Center of Excellence. My job is to be a resource to the workers' comp industry. This includes researching, speaking at conferences, writing articles, and meeting with employers.

I'm also the founder and manager of the Work Comp Analysis Group on LinkedIn. This little after-hours hobby has become the largest online discussion group dedicated exclusively to workers' comp issues.

My experiences have given me a great perspective into workers' compensation issues. I have participated in hundreds of TPA audits around the country, so I have seen first-hand what the industry "best practices" are.

I have been a speaker on risk management topics at multiple conferences and seminars:
Illinois Self-Insurance Association 2006
Illinois Municipal League RMA 2007, 2010
Self-Insurance Institute of America (SIIA) National Conference 2008
Safety National Workers Compensation Education Seminar 2009, 2010, 2011
Business Insurance Best Practices in Workers' Compensation Management 2010, 2011
RIMS Annual Convention 2011, 2012
PRIMA National Convention 2011, 2012
IAIABC Annual Meeting 2011, 2012
Florida RIMS 2012
Kansas SIA 2012
