Summary

As a seasoned Field Adjuster with experience handling multiple hurricanes and freeze catastrophes, I have successfully closed over 500+ CAT claims. My expertise extends to property, theft, BI, and litigated claims. As a PM for ARO Engineering I worked as a jack of all trades in each field. I have worked forensic, civil, environmental, structural, and coastal projects. I was then promoted to Project Manager of the coastal engineering department. I successfully managed and resolved problems from construction defects from previous faulty work done by subcontractors to solving complex coastal and civil issues and came up with a solution for residential and commercial projects working along side Army Corp of Engineers, Tampa Port Authority, GCs, engineers, architects and construction companies. I fully understand what goes into the insurance, engineering, and construction industry and who should be at fault during defect claims. Worked on and supervised construction on 1+ Million dollar projects. As a NASM certified personal trainer and competitive weightlifter, I believe in maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
