Introduction

Why I Am Doing This For You

I’ve worked many and varied kinds of property damaging events; everything from violent straight-line windstorms, to ice and snow storms, to Hail Storms that have battered homes and businesses with hail the size of Grapefruits; and I’ve lived and worked amongst the devastation, debris and foulness of a dozen tornado and flood producing Hurricanes, including Hurricane’s Fran and Katrina.

For over twenty five years I had engaged myself in giving aid to the destitute, addicted and homeless out of both my own home and resources. Relative to my natural inclination to help people in need, I took great pride and pleasure in working closely with each Insured whose claim I handled, explaining their Policy to them in plain English in order to help them take full advantage of their Policy’s Coverage’s so they could get the most out of their Policy.

In the course of time that I’d spent out in those places of destruction, it had been suggested to me on numerous occasions by scores of people, both that I should write a book and that I should have a Radio Talk Show providing this plain English help to the public at large. Now in pursuit of a new career as a Writer and Director of feature Films, I have yet to find the time to write a book; and though I had actually received an offer from a Radio Producer in 2005, the notion of being a Radio Talk Show Host is out of the question.

Yet, with my lingering desire to help Americans recover from the destruction and personal loss brought on by the damaging storms that hit somewhere in the United States every year, I decided to launch this Blog to provide the same information free of charge that would have otherwise resided in a book. The added benefit to providing this information in a Blog, is that I can release the information piecemeal, and do not have to hold back any portion of it throughout the writing process.
