His passion for teaching was evident when he successfully trained 12 new adjusters simultaneously during a catastrophe adjustment.  With over 23 years of experience in the insurance adjusting field  and his deep knowledge and enthusiasm for the industry inspired him to create Adjusting Online, where he merges his expertise with innovative teaching techniques to foster a supportive learning environment. Steven’s unwavering commitment to excellence and his genuine desire to see others thrive are the core motivations driving Adjusting Online’s success.

Before Hurricane Sandy, he was able to help start an Insurance Adjusting Firm dedicated to working Flood Claims in the nation’s NFIP program. During Hurricane Sandy, the adjusting firm was able to pay out his team of adjusters over $3 Million Dollars in combined earnings. Steven has been and always will be dedicated to training new adjusters to handle both Day & CAT Claims. Throughout his career, Steven has taught for several adjusting schools.
