About

Welcome to my professional liability website.  I’m Chris Christian, CIC, RPLU, licensed agent since 1985 and former Marine.

I Love Insurance!

Insurance is my life, my career, my profession. I joined US Risk in November, 2005 and am based in the Nashville, TN branch office.  I’m a wholesale broker, working primarily on professional liability and environmental lines.  I work primarily in a virtual world, so geographical location is never an obstacle.

The majority of my clients are main street agents who rely upon me to provide the technical expertise and market knowledge to allow them to easily and efficiently write professional liability accounts of all shapes and sizes.  I teach Ruble Seminars for the Society of Certified Insurance Counselors,  CE for various industry associations and directly for select agencies, and am very active in the Professional Liability Underwriting Society, currently serving on the Board of Trustees, and having just left the Chair of the SouthEast Chapter.

In my spare time

When I’m not engaged in insurance business (which is rare right now), I’m running, working out, playing with my horses, golfing, reading, writing, or doing homely things.  When I have time, I like to shoot pool.  I have not yet had the opportunity to explore much of the beautiful outdoors here in Tennessee, but I hope to remedy that in 2010.

I figure that 2009 will be dedicated to building my book of business, and working 60-70 hours a week, as I have done in 2008.  The good news is that my efforts are paying off, and I’m building a nice book of business generated by a fantastic agency plant.  My goal is to double my book in 2009.  Doing so will allow me to add to staff, which will help me serve my agents better.

Once a Marine, Always a Marine

And to all of you Marines out there — Semper Fi!  Check out the Marines in Insurance Group on LinkedIn here.  I’ve just set that group up and am hopeful we can help each other to succeed through the power of networking.
