Commercial Insurance Producer

About Michael

I began my career offshore after graduating from Texas A&M and the Texas Maritime Academy, where I earned a degree in Marine Transportation and a USCG 3rd Mate Unlimited Tonnage License. My experience aboard vessels and in tug and barge operations gave me firsthand insight into marine risk, navigation, crew responsibility, and contractual exposures.

I started my career offshore after graduating from Texas A&M and the Texas Maritime Academy with a degree in Marine Transportation and earning a USCG 3rd Mate Unlimited Tonnage License. Time aboard vessels and in tug and barge operations provided direct exposure to navigation, crew responsibility, contractual obligations and real-world marine risk.

After transitioning ashore, I built experience across marine claims, in-house maritime risk management and commercial brokerage advisory. I have handled and evaluated losses involving Hull and Machinery, Protection and Indemnity, Cargo, Inland Marine and Jones Act exposures. That perspective shapes how I structure coverage today.

At The Liberty Company Insurance Brokers, I advise vessel owners, marine contractors and transportation businesses on commercial insurance programs. My role includes exposure analysis, coverage design, carrier negotiation and ongoing advisory support aligned with operational realities.

Experience across transportation operations, claims management and insurance advisory allows me to approach risk with technical depth and practical context.

If you operate within the maritime or transportation sector and are evaluating your insurance strategy, I welcome the opportunity to connect.
