Matt started his insurance career in 1997 as an Underwriter Trainee with State Farm. Eight years later, he transitioned from VP of Underwriting for a regional P&C carrier to a retail commercial producer position. After twelve more years, he moved to the wholesale side of the business as a marine broker.
Matt’s marine roots go back three generations. His grandfather designed and built boats and lived aboard one of them, raising five kids over a twenty-year period. Several of them went on to be marine mechanics, boat captains, or live-aboards. To paraphrase Jimmy Buffett’s song, he’s “the son of a son of a sailor” (actually it was his maternal grandfather, so… daughter) so the marine industry is in his blood.
As a former retail agent, Matt knows what you need. He’s been there himself and understands the need for urgency, accessibility, and follow-through. Matt loves marine insurance and loves to win. He looks forward to partnering with you on your next opportunity.
