Named a principal of the firm in 2003, Joe has continued to grow and cultivate his leadership skills and technical expertise, and he is now the lead production mentor for all incoming benefits consultants within the firm.
In addition to his mentoring responsibilities, Joe provides consultation to group clients on cost-saving benefit solutions. He has a broad range of specialties, including plan design analysis, on-site clinic development and implementation, self-funding, creative pharmaceutical solutions, and consumer-driven health plans.
