25 years as regulatory and litigation counsel for the PA Insurance Department, in administrative and appellate litigation. I moved into private practice as a consultant in July 2014.
Extensive litigation in the Commonwealth Court's original jurisdiction, and in the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. My cases received national attention including Forbes magazine and a personal appearance on Inside Edition.
Lead counsel for multistate market conduct settlements, including a complex 41-state settlement. Routinely worked closely with the Commonwealth's Office of Attorney General (OAG) and federal prosecutors, coordinating the investigation and criminal prosecution of insurance producers and unlicensed insurers.
Oversaw staff lawyers' litigation management. I have given numerous presentations and CLEs on insurance issues, litigation, negotiations, and regulatory issues generally. I've also trained federal authorities on investigating and regulatory prosecution of white collar crimes.
I served as chair of OGC's Appellate Sub-committee, coaching and lecturing lawyers in appellate argument statewide (approximately 450+ lawyers). I also ran the PA Commonwealth's statewide moot court program (33 agencies), spoke yearly at the OGC University, and CLE programs.
I have also been involved in the Prison Christian Growth Group for 33 years, expanding from nine members and two jails, to 143 members and15 jails and prisons. For the past three years, I've given talks/sermons to inmates every three weeks (up until Covid this past Spring)
Oh, and I play guitar - a custom built copy of Jerry Garcia's Tiger, along with 70 of my videos on Youtube with about 1.3 million views; I've done stand-up comedy as a volunteer for local nursing homes; and my photos from extensive travels have been received 2.4 million views.
