The feature highlighted 47 market experts who have mastered a specific area of expertise to help secure coverage for specialty clients and hard-to-place risks.

Upon learning this news, Mike had this to say about his inclusion. “I'm truly honored to be featured in IBA magazine this year. I needed to find a career that would allow me to utilize my analytical skills as a former CPA to help companies that need something beyond a commodity broker. Our company has continued to refine and make our products better and as a result, our clients continue to give us praise, not only for our business but for our commitment to finding the best products for them.”
