Long before I worked in insurance claims, restoration consulting, or large property losses, I was focused on one thing: soccer. I played the game my entire life. It started when I was young and eventually led to a scholarship at Northern Illinois University.
Some of the biggest lessons I have learned about leadership did not come during easy situations. They came during fires, floods, hurricanes, and major property losses where people were stressed, timelines were tight, and decisions had to be made quickly.

One of the things I appreciate most about my career is that no two days have ever looked exactly the same. Some days are spent reviewing estimates, reading reports, and answering emails. Other days, I’m walking through buildings damaged by fire, water, or severe weather, trying to understand what happened and what needs to happen next.
