About Me
Background
I am a 30+ year insurance industry veteran. Having initially handled claims in the field, I moved on to various leadership roles, managing claims adjusters and eventually as the VP of Claims and Operations for state, regional and national insurance programs. My last role was as President of an adjusting company that handled claims in nearly all 50 states. In all of my roles, it has been my desire to help individuals out when they need their insurer the most.
I'm now bringing that experience into helping clients to better understand and maximize their premium dollars while minimizing their exposure to insufficiently, or non-covered, losses.
My Mission
I've witnessed first-hand the shock people feel when they discover the true extent (or lack thereof) of insurance coverage following a loss. This revealed an opportunity: to ensure that individuals no only understand their policy, but to be equipped with the proper type and quantity of coverage to meet their needs. That's why I'm here...to bridge that gap and provide peace of mind.
Our Values
At PIER REVIEW LLC, my belief is that honesty, integrity, and transparency are essential to everything I do. I strive to create a professional relationship based on trust and mutual respect.
Beyond the Profession
Work is just a piece of who we are. Beyond that, I am a husband of 38 years to Vicky Westra, CEO and Founder of Neuroshifts, a 501(c)3 organization that is dedicated to helping the neurodivergent community (and their employers) find a path to more joyful and productive lives. This mission was inspired by our daughter Gabbi, whom we adopted from Romania 26 years ago and was diagnosed with autism at age 4.
