Once a centralized subrogation department was formed, Kevin was one of the first two individuals hired to begin the process of establishing workflows for the subrogation process including arbitration, litigation, inter-carrier, uninsured motorists, property and product liability claims.

Kevin then received an opportunity create a subrogation department through an outsource partner. This opportunity resulted in a subrogation department that started with one person and eventually grew into a department of over 100. Kevin's concentration was once again in establishing workflows, both internal and external, and partnering with his clients to ensure their goals were being met.

Kevin co-founded Acclaim Resource Partners, LLC, in order to partner with his clients in a greater and much more targeted way.  The belief that working in a close partnership, creating opportunities that cannot be met individually, and watching people succeed is what drives him to have an impact each day.
