Personal Insurance, done different

Your life isn’t one policy. Your coverage shouldn’t be either.

High-limit homeowners and condo. Valuables. Excess liability. Selective specialty. One household program that fits how you live, not a junk drawer of policies.

Program Design

Complex household? That’s the fun part.

I place with an eye on limits, valuations, and hard-to-place nuance (Florida waterfront, wildfire, selective mountain homes), and how personal risk sits beside trusts and entities. Educational below. Actual coverage depends on underwriting, forms, jurisdiction, appointments, and appetite.

Prestige personal lines, including Chubb, Berkley One, PURE, Private Client Select (formerly AIG Private Client Group), and Cincinnati, when appointments, appetite, and underwriting allow. Not exclusive. Not a guarantee. Other markets may fit.

E&S and Lloyd’s for really tough risks and select out-of-country exposures (Mexico, the Caribbean, and beyond). Subject to surplus-lines rules, licensing, appointments, appetite, and underwriting. Selective. Not every country, not every risk.

Residences

High-limit homeowners & condo

Primary, secondary, condo, seasonal. Limits and rebuild that match reality, especially hard-to-place Florida waterfront, wildfire-exposed homes, and selective mountain lifestyle properties where markets allow.

  • High dwelling and loss-of-use limits aimed at rebuild cost, not yesterday’s purchase price
  • Condo association vs. unit-owner clarity
  • Secondary and rental-adjacent use reviewed carefully
  • Florida waterfront / coastal and wind, with market realism, subject to appetite and underwriting
  • Wildfire-exposed California and mountain homes in places like Aspen, Montana, and Wyoming. Selective / hard-to-place, subject to appointments and markets

Collections

Valuable articles

Jewelry, fine art, wine, the good stuff. Appraisals that hold up. Territorial and transit terms that match how you travel and store.

  • Scheduled personal property with real valuations
  • Attention to breakage, mysterious disappearance, and pairs-and-sets
  • Coordination with household security and storage

Liability

Excess liability & umbrella

When auto, home, or watercraft limits run out, umbrella protects the balance sheet. I size to your life, not a brochure default.

  • Personal umbrella / excess structured to exposure
  • Underlying limits coordinated across policies
  • Household staff, premises, and recreational liability reviewed

Lifestyle

Yacht, aviation & multi-vehicle auto

Watercraft and aircraft with precision. Right markets, operators, limits. Multi-vehicle and high-performance auto aligned with the rest of the tower.

  • Yacht and watercraft liability and physical damage where appropriate
  • Selective aviation only for qualified owners/operators, and only where appointments support it
  • Private-client auto, including multi-vehicle households

Specialty

Other personal specialty

New homes, compounds, collectibles, travel. I add specialty when it solves a real risk, not to pad a proposal.

  • Flood and excess flood where markets and need align
  • Personal identity-fraud / cyber endorsements when available and useful, not a substitute for commercial cyber
  • Event and temporary-exposure placements when warranted
  • E&S and Lloyd’s for really tough risks and select out-of-country exposures (e.g. Mexico, the Caribbean, and beyond), subject to surplus-lines rules, licensing, appointments, appetite, and underwriting; not every country or risk

Approach

Right > cheap. Always.

Premium matters. Getting it right matters more. I explain tradeoffs so you and your advisors decide with eyes open.

Valuation discipline

Underinsurance is a quiet failure. I push rebuild and schedule accuracy before a claim forces the talk.

Entity awareness

Who owns the home, the boat, the LLC? Named insureds match legal reality. No guessing.

Advisor coordination

Wealth manager or family office in the room? I keep them in the loop without breaking confidentiality.
