ADDENDUM TO RESUME
INSURANCE BACKGROUND
AS CAN BE SEEN ABOVE, MY CAREER HAS REVOLVED AROUND STARTING, BUILDING AND RUNNING BUSINESSES, FOR OVER 20 YEARS. IN 2001, BENEFITS AND HEALTH CARE WERE BECOMING CRITICAL FACTORS, FROM A PROFITABILITY, HUMAN RESOURCE AND EXPENSE PROSPECTIVE. IT WAS EVIDENT THAT A THOROUGH KNOWLEDGE OF BENEFITS AND THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY, WOULD SERVE A MANAGER, OR DIRECTOR IN MANY WAYS. I ACQUIRED A MULTI LINE INSURANCE LICENSE TO HELP BUILD BETTER BENEFITS STRUCTURES. I HAVE USED THE INSURANCE EXPERIENCE TO BETTER SUPPLY AND MORE ECONOMICALLY DRIVE, BENEFITS PROGRAMS. IN BETWEEN PROJECTS, I COUNSELED, LECTURED AND INSTRUCTED REGARDING MEDICARE PROGRAMS, LIFE/HEALTH AND DISABILITY. I PRESENTLY HOLD A NATIONAL LICENSE.
