About the Author

As chief executive officer, Alan provides executive leadership and strategic oversight for US Assure’s long-term direction in the builders risk market.

With more than 30 years in builders risk insurance, Alan’s perspective reflects data driven expertise and provides specialized guidance through market cycles, economic shifts and evolving risk environments that directly impact construction demand.

Alan’s forward‑looking analysis for US Asure, Zurich and our producers is rooted in his enthusiasm for studying market data, catastrophe trends and broader economic indicators on a day-to-day basis. Focused on course of construction and insurance industry outlooks, his insights help our partners understand how macro‑level factors, such as cost inflation, weather‑driven losses and changes in construction practices, shape builders risk exposure over time.

Through his authoritative commentary, Alan connects industry headlines to real‑world risk implications, supporting agents and partners navigating an increasingly complex and less predictable construction landscape.
