Why is an insurance broker on Active Rain?

For the same reasons you're here. To network, share my knowledge (of insurance and marketing) and learn from others. I may not be in real estate, but real estate agents and insurance brokers have a lot in common when it comes to the struggles of acquiring new clients and marketing. We all have the tools and knowledge to help and educate our clients, it's just a matter of getting in front of them and developing a trust.

Just browsing this website, I've picked up many idea's of marketing, SEO and interacting with potential clients and I'm sure I'm just skimming the surface.

A little about myself, I've lived in Southern California my whole life. Grew up in Orange County and graduated college at San Diego State University and have been in the insurance industry since 2004. I love to travel, I've been around the world and love interacting within different cultures. I'm a typical Southern California guy - I surf, snowboard and wakeboard. I mean where else in the USA can you surf, snowboard and wakeboard in the same day!?

Anyways, I look forward to contributing to this community and meeting some new people.
