He holds a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Tufts University in Medford, Mass. and an MBA from the University of Texas at Dallas. He served as chairman of the board of directors for both the Captive Insurance Companies Association (CICA) and the Vermont Captive Insurance Association (VCIA).

2014 CICA International Conference Happening Soon: CICA’s 2014 International Conference on March 9-11, 2014 in Scottsdale, AZ features two full days of intensive education sessions and a comprehensive tradeshow where captive owners and risk managers can learn about and evaluate business solutions and ideas with service providers and domiciles.
CICA is the only domicile-neutral captive insurance association. Founded in 1972 by risk managers for their collective benefit, CICA works to provide the foremost education, networking and leadership for captive and risk retention group professionals. Through CICA's personal network focused on the common issues that concern captives and risk retention groups, members are constantly exploring new ways to broaden the use of their captives to increase flexibility in program design, stabilize long-term program costs and increase access to both domestic (U.S.) and offshore reinsurance capacity.
