Broker
I am a Broker serving on Michael Parks team. I have over 17 years of experience in the industry with a background in both Casualty and Property.
Prior to working with CRC, I worked with two carriers - AIG and Berkshire Hathaway Homestate. This experience gives me the benefit of speeding up the process for my agency partners by performing the initial vetting of opportunities and asking underwriting questions upfront. As for my carrier partners, having experience as a claim adjuster, underwriter, and marketing representative allows me to understand and identify their best options, and provide ways of making their lives a little easier to get the best deals done for my customers.
I was born in West Texas and raised in the Dallas area, graduating from South Grand Prairie High. I completed my undergraduate at Southwestern A/G University. My beautiful wife, Melanie Blain and I welcomed our baby girl, Bridget. We have a dog named Ruby live happily in North Dallas. When it is time to relax, I enjoy camping, golf, and traveling with my family.
Our team leads with over 88 years of combined experience in the insurance industry. All of the members of the Parks Team stay in constant contact with underwriters, and it is their practice to get to know them and their particular appetites to bring the most complete market knowledge to the table on every account. We utilize these specialized relationships with underwriters across the country to get the best coverage at the best price for each of our clients. We are dedicated to servicing the needs of our retail agents and their clients. The entire team returns phone calls and e-mails and we do what we say we are going to do.
