Now, we begin.

So here is the first post of my long anticipated insurance blog.  Of course I’m the only one who anticipated it, but you have to start somewhere.  I’m an insurance broker specializing in the technology and life sciences sectors, as well as any operation that has a professional liability exposure.  From the outside looking in, the insurance industry has somewhat of a dry look to it.  Stodgy, boring, and something that you don’t really want to talk about.  In the 80’s movie “Weird Science”,  Anthony Michael Hall talks about another character in the movie who is the life of the party, proclaiming that “she could have fun at an insurance seminar”.  I assume that’s a common viewpoint of the insurance business,  but it really is an exciting industry, considering the changing business world of technology, life sciences, and the overall revolution of how we conduct business.  This revolution presents challenges on how to appropriately design an insurance program for a business.  It’s kind of like a game of chess, but the rules keep changing and if you don’t keep up with the changes, it’s checkmate.  Yeah, I love it and I consider myself an enthusiastic student of the industry.  In my next post I will give you the current lay of the land in the insurance industry and spread some insurance enthusiasm…
