I look forward to creating captive insurance companies and risk financing arrangements to most efficiently finance our organisational risks.” He adds: “I also want to thank Cheryl Lloyd at the University of California, Office of the President, for taking a chance on a hockey player from North Dakota seven years ago, to move to California to build and grow captive insurance companies for the UC system. Cheryl, thank you, we made a difference for the University, its faculty, staff, students and employees!”
