Michael’s career with Durham & Bates spans more than three decades. During that time, he has supported small and mid-size Commercial and Marine clients across a number of industries and specialties.
Clients and colleagues alike appreciate Michael’s ability to mix professional tenacity with a sense of humor.
“As I see it, humor and insurance both share a key ingredient: timing. On the professional side of things, timing is essential. You have to be able to manage tasks and handle urgent situations. And speaking personally, there’s no law that says you can’t chuckle while you’re working, as long as you time things appropriately.”
Out of the office, Michael enjoys a round of 18 holes, camping, and boating with his family and close friends.
