with UCANE’s Officers and Board Members Can you give us some information on your background and tell us why you decided to get into the insurance business? I graduated in 2010 from Western New England College where I majored in finance and economics and also played football for four years. My first job out of college was as a high school football coach and a part-time teacher in West Hartford. In 2011, I began my insurance career as an entry level account manager at Traveler’s home office in Hartford. I worked in the Equipment Breakdown and Property Coverage Division. Travelers offered me an opportunity to enroll in their Underwriting Development Program, which was a two-year rotational program that involved both classroom and field training across all lines of business insurance. In 2014, I accepted Traveler’s offer to relocate to their Braintree Office, where I became an account executive concentrating on the Eastern New England construction market. Working for the underwriter, I began interfacing with area contractors, as well as our partner insurance agencies. How long have you been with DeSanctis Insurance Agency, and what is your role there? As their Traveler’s underwriter, I developed a great working relationship with the DeSanctis Agency and I recognized how solid the firm was and how well respected it was within the industry. In 2016, I joined Adam DeSanctis and his team. I work in a great team atmosphere where service to clients is our number one goal. I’m currently an Account Executive/Producer focusing on the Construction Market. In this role I interact closely JULY, 2021

How long has your company been a member of UCANE and why did you decide to join the Board of Di-
The DeSanctis Agency has been a member of UCANE going back to the 1970s when our founder Robert (Bob) DeSanctis was heavily involved in UCANE and also served on the Board at one time. His son Adam has followed his father’s tradition as a strong UCANE supporter and once I understood what UCANE was about, I wanted to be a part of it too. I attended some committee meetings and Board meetings for a couple of years and I was flattered when the UCANE officers asked me to become a member of the Board of Directors. continued on page 51
