As a servant of Jesus Christ, my priorities of faith, family and community are unwavering. My wife, Jean and I have been married for (30) years. She is a master naturalist, wildlife rehabilitator (DCWRE) and we’ve co-owned The Bug Guy pest control service since 2012. We have (4) very successful adult children and (8) grandchildren.

For more than three decades, I’ve faithfully and enthusiastically served my community as a police officer, elected Capital school board member and elected Dover city councilman, where I chaired the Safety, Advisory and Transportation committee all (4) years.

Duties

Delaware Insurance Commissioner

The Delaware State Insurance Commissioner leads the Delaware Department of Insurance, who is responsible for protecting, educating, and advocating for Delaware residents. The Commissioner’s office regulates Delaware’s insurance industry, tracks insurance companies’ financial well-being, and investigates insurance fraud.
 
It is with a deep commitment to transparency, consumer protection, and the enhancement of the insurance industry that I bring a wealth of leadership to this crucial role.
 
The duties of the Delaware Insurance Commissioner include:
- Protect insurance consumers
- Regulate companies to ensure ability to pay claims
- Review, approve, and/or disapprove rates submitted by insurance companies
- Prosecute insurance fraud
- License agents and brokers
- Save businesses money on premium costs
- Assist Medicare-eligible seniors
- Advocate for residents through arbitration and legislation
 
The divisions within the Department of Insurance include:
- Bureau of Captive & Financial Insurance Products
- Bureau of Company Examination, Rehabilitation & Guaranty (BERG)
- Consumer Services & Investigations Division
- Fraud Prevention Bureau
- Producer Licensing & Continuing Education Division
- Rates & Forms Divisions
 
Insurance is mandatory thus it must be affordable, accessible, fully transparent and practiced fairly, while holding all parties accountable for their contractual obligations. My campaign will focus on integrity while fulfilling the mission and duties of the office. Furthermore, I will aspire to create a work environment that is safe, welcoming, and inclusive.
 
A state-wide race is very costly; donations of any size are greatly appreciated.
