How It All Started…📖
Hello, I’m Mick!

Breaking The Barrier
It all started after high school when I decided to take a break to find myself, and for the next four years, I worked in a restaurant while figuring out my next steps.
Eventually, I realized that I needed to get back on track if I wanted to succeed.
I quickly enrolled back into a University, but my four-year hiatus left me in a tough position playing catch up.
Despite the challenge, I persevered and graduated with a statistics background.
As a fresh Grad, I stumbled into Credit and Mortgages in the banking sector, where I spent 5 years authorizing loans up to 1.25 Million dollars per application, using sound credit adjudication guidelines.
From there on, I started working as an Independent Business Consultant, helping businesses obtain Business Loans from Governments, Banks, and Crown Corporations.
With a career in Credit, Mortgages, and Business Financing under my belt, I wanted something even more technical and decided to pursue a Graduate degree.
Life From Credit to Insurance
After completing my second degree, I shifted direction to self-learning programming by spending countless hours networking, studying, and working on projects while juggling my full-time Credit job.
Life has an interesting way of recognizing hard work and dedication.
I became a panelist at a local tech company, showcasing a Predictive Engine project I was working on at the time using data from Credit, which caught the community’s attention.
One thing led to another, and I unexpectedly received a teaching invitation at my University, where I began teaching programming to Students from my University department.
From then on, I continued to sharpen my skills and expertise by combining data analytics with my diverse financial background, which helped me build a successful career across multiple insurance sectors. At Allstate Insurance, I specialized in personal lines including home, auto, and boat insurance, where I handled thousands of policies and developed deep expertise in risk assessment, claims analysis, and coverage optimization. My role also involved in developing innovative solutions for complex coverage needs and helping clients understand their protection options.
My next adventure took me to Healthcare Insurance Reciprocal, where I expanded my expertise to include complex healthcare coverage and specialized risk management, working directly with healthcare facilities to develop comprehensive coverage strategies. This experience gave me unique insights into both individual and institutional insurance needs, particularly in managing complex medical liability and facility coverage requirements.
My insurance expertise covers multiple areas including personal insurance, pet insurance, home insurance, boat insurance, and healthcare insurance. By combining my inner statistics nerd with real-world insurance experience, I’ve mastered the art of understanding risk assessment and policy optimization. It’s like being a financial superhero, but instead of a cape, I wear knowledge of data analytics and industry insights. I believe my experience is unique and can help me guide readers through the insurance world, ensuring they understand their coverage options – without needing a dictionary or a stress ball.
