Spring showers can bring more than just flowers - it can also increase the risk of flooding. 🌧️

As heavy rainfall becomes more common this time of year, reviewing flood safety tips can help you reduce risk and keep your property protected!

Happened to see this quote today from one of my daily business emails, it SO resonated with me! “You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past”. Thanks, Johnny Cash!

Almost Spring means fresh starts for businesses — and it’s one of the best times to schedule a commercial insurance check‑up. As operations pick up, projects reopen, and hiring ramps up, it’s the perfect moment to make sure your coverage still aligns with your goals, exposures, and growth plans for 2026.

A consultative review with me at Bearing Insurance goes deeper than checking boxes — it’s about making sure your policies stay relevant, responsive, and cost‑effective as your business evolves.

What a Spring Coverage Check‑Up Can Catch:

✔️ Changes in payroll, operations, or revenue

✔️ New equipment, vehicles, or property added since last renewal

✔️ Subcontractor or vendor updates impacting liability

✔️ Outdated limits that no longer match today’s claim environment

✔️ Gaps in cyber, EPLI, or umbrella coverage you may not realize exist

✔️ Opportunities to improve rating factors and reduce premium waste

Why Review With Me?

I take a hands‑on, advisory approach — not just a renewal process.

Your review includes:

A clear, plain‑language breakdown of what each policy actually protects

Benchmarking your coverage against industry standards

Identifying hidden exposures unique to your operations

Exploring coverage improvements without unnecessary spending

Fast, accessible support if anything changes mid‑policy

My goal is simple:

Protect your business like it’s my own — with expertise, transparency, and gratitude for the trust you place in me.

If you’d like to schedule a Spring check‑up, I’m here when you’re ready.

Yesterday was a full day of continuing education focused on the unique risks facing the hospitality industry — from restaurants, bars, and taverns to hotels and bed & breakfasts.

I’m committed to staying ahead of the evolving challenges in this space so I can better guide owners and operators with clarity and confidence.

Here are a few of the key checkpoints I dug into:
✔️ Liquor liability & responsible alcohol service
✔️ Fire & kitchen safety best practices
✔️ Guest safety and facility standards for hotels & B&Bs
✔️ Cybersecurity & POS system protection
✔️ Business income and continuity planning

Proud to keep investing in deeper knowledge so I can continue serving hospitality professionals with the expertise they deserve.

A big thank‑you to organizations who work tirelessly to support and advocate for hospitality businesses nationwide:
North Carolina Restaurant & Lodging Association (NCRLA)
Asheville Downtown Association
Asheville Buncombe Hotel Association
ASHEVILLE INDEPENDENT RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION INC

What an inspiring day at the 137th Greenville Chamber Annual Meeting! 🌟

I had the privilege of attending at the kind invitation of Carter Bank, alongside Roslyn Gilstrap and Mike Sarvis. I’m grateful for the opportunity to be part of such an energizing event focused on growth, leadership, and community impact.

A highlight for me was hearing from Suzanne Clark of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Her insights on the direction of American business, economic resilience, and the power of collaboration were incredibly valuable. Her wisdom left a lasting impression and reinforced why strong business communities matter more than ever.

Thank you to the Greenville Chamber for hosting an exceptional gathering that brought so many leaders and perspectives together. Feeling energized and motivated for the year ahead! 💼✨
