The past few decades have gone faster than I could ever imagine. As I reflect upon these years, I realize in amazement how HPSI has evolved as a premier broker in the field of Professional Medical Malpractice Insurance Providers from a humble beginning. From a malpractice underwriter for the Nashville office of HCA in 1986, I realized that there was an under-served market of special needs clients in search of cost-effective malpractice protection. I headed off on my own, deciding to become a liability insurance broker in 1987 and opened my first office in Dallas, TX. Without adequate markets and capital, the firm failed, but after a few years of hard work and other successful enterprises, I earned enough commissions to set roots down in Atlanta, GA finally and establish Healthcare Professional Services in 1990.

In the depth of the 1990-1991 recession, business started and went there for a while. Starting a business and succeeding was indeed a long shot! With a direct contract with Shand Morahan/Evanston Insurance and with Fred Seilkop joining the team in 1991, we built our direct contracts and agreements and gained enough prominence to enable HPSI to grow faster and evolve into the leader we are today.

Our rich corporate culture fosters high caliber employees and industry specialists who are committed every day towards the objective I set out to accomplish many years ago. Our ultimate goal is to provide insurance solutions to our retail agency partners and become the dominant player in the special needs non-standard market for healthcare providers. HPSI has been truly blessed, and I want to recognize and thank the companies that have allowed us the opportunity to partner with them over the last 2 ½ decades. We aim to continue providing the same excellent service you expect for years to come.
