David’s Resource Library
Thank you for coming to my Self-Funding Resource Library!
I am proud to have been at Sun Life since 2013 as a Stop Loss Specialist providing first-in-class stop loss coverage to the market. I truly believe that what we do is important and it makes it easy to show up every single day. I work closely with all levels of consultant firms demonstrating the value and leadership our Sun Life Medical Stop Loss Solution provides employers of all size. Sun Life is the largest direct writer of stop in the US and continues to find ways to be innovative while providing best-in-class thought leadership in the industry. If you’ve ever talked to me you know that my primary goal is to be a resource for anyone interested in the space and I hope that this resource page can be an extension of that. If you have questions on any of the resources, or you are looking for something more, don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly.

On a personal note, I have lived in the PNW for my whole life. I grew up on Bainbridge Island, Washington a short ferry ride away from downtown Seattle. I graduated from the University of Washington with an Economics degree and then went straight into the world of insurance. Prior to arriving at Sun Life, I spent 6+ years on the consultant side at Gallagher Benefit Services and USI/Kibble & Prentice as a Financial Analyst. Learning the underwriting and trends of group medical plans on the broker side led to a seamless transition in the space of Medical Stop Loss knowing what matters most. I live in West Seattle with my wife and 3-year-old son (with another one on the way!). We stay busy with lots of family time together, being involved in the community and plenty of time spent outdoors watching/playing sports. During the summer you can find us spending a lot of our time in Cannon Beach, Oregon making sure to fly a kite as often as possible and take in as much beach time as we can.
