John then transitioned to being a Technical Specialist for Travelers, adjusting large (complex) commercial line claims, including Builder’s Risk and large loss homeowner’s claims. These would often involve the hiring and managing of experts from numerous disciplines, verifying contractor estimates, invoices, change orders, etc., for accuracy & proper pricing, and negotiating with contractors/vendors.

As an RGA, John focused on inland marine and commercial claim lines.

In 2013 John went to work for AIG as a National General Adjuster, handling commercial and inland marine claims throughout the US, from start to finish. These claims were some of the most complex in coverage determination and adjustment, which represented some the region’s largest commercial exposures. In addition to these, John handled claims for commercial property, Builders Risk, manufacturing, energy, aviation, and occasionally mining.

After a short stay with Engle Martin, John joined McLarens in 2019, where he continues to shine as an Executive General Adjuster, handling claims across many areas of focus. He is regularly a sought-after resource from fellow adjusters on complex subject matters, and is requested by clients for his dedication and customer service.
