Rich is well versed in all lines of insurance, including Marine. Having dealt with him on the Underwriting side, he is great at identifying possible gaps in coverage and finding a solution. He has always been good at communicating his expectations and has a strong leadership presence. His understanding of what the client's needs are and how an underwriter can fulfill those needs at the right terms/pricing is what has made him successful all these years.
