>> I attended the University of Mississippi.
I actually attended school on a track scholarship, and ironically,
it was my high-school track coach who got me
into the insurance business, and it was a strange thing.
I just got call one night amidst the loud music in the dorm and hanging out with friends.
"How would you like to be an insurance adjustor?"
And I had no idea what an insurance adjustor did.
But I pursued that avenue, and I have truly enjoyed it.
I've been in the business now for 26 years, and I've worked as various types of,
because there's different types of insurance adjustors.
It's not just a property adjustor, but there are all sorts
of adjustors, and I've worn the hat there.
I've also been involved in, I've had positions in management,
insurance claims management as well.
I have worked for two different companies and a staff employee, and I have also worked
as an independent adjustor working for various insurance companies.
There is the entrepreneurial spirit in terms of being an independent adjustor,
because you get to work for various companies, various independent adjusting firms,
and you more or less get to, most of that work is dealing with following storms.
You know, the major catastrophes that happen, hurricanes, the major tornados,
the major fire losses and so forth.
So there is that entrepreneurial spirit in that aspect of it as an independent adjustor.
