I’m responsible for helping my clients develop effective benefits strategies that address cost, compliance, and administration within their organizations. My expertise includes health and welfare benefits procurement, negotiations, cost analysis, underwriting, and general healthcare strategy. I have ample experience deploying both traditional and custom benefit plan offerings and am well positioned to help employers eager to offer high-performance health benefits.
My clients appreciate that I treat their problems and concerns as my own and that I work as an extension of their organization. They know I’m someone who’s dedicated to fixing the healthcare problem in the United States and, because of that desire, I have a willingness to roll up my sleeves and solve complex problems.
Occasionally, I speak to different industry groups on current issues. At a Michigan Municipal Risk Management Association’s conference, I discussed OPEB (other post-employment benefits) liabilities (legacy benefit costs). I’ve also spoken at conferences sponsored by the Michigan School Business Officials on the Affordable Care Act, Michigan Public Act 152, and general benefits strategies.
I have served on the Board of the Detroit chapter of the International Society of Certified Employee Benefit Specialists. I received a B.A. in political economy and economics from Michigan State University.
I enjoy spending time with my wife, Melissa, and my two boys, Miles and Asher. I also enjoy attending MSU football games and rock concerts. Additionally, I’m a self-taught guitar player and still play the occasional video game — in my rare free time.
