He coordinates Assurant’s “Second Wave” Catastrophe Response Team, working to make sure their clients are taken care of after events like Sandy and the 2013 Oklahoma tornadoes. His empathy presentation based on his experience chasing the Henryville EF-4 tornado has helped coworkers better understand the plight facing homeowners immediately after disaster.
In addition to his meteorological duties, Bryan does business analyst work as well. He has a Six Sigma Green Belt and is a current Black Belt candidate. He is currently involved in the National Weather Association’s college student mentoring team, which is soon launching an online presence.
In his spare time, Bryan enjoys playing sports, gardening, cooking, storm chasing, reading Non-Fiction, studying weather impacts on industries outside of insurance and writing 3rd person profiles about himself in case he gives a speech.
His presentation is entitled “Hail: Increasing Losses & a Look at the 5/25/11 Dayton Hailstorm”
Congratulations Byran and hang in there.
