After leaving the Army National Guard, Scott enrolled in our first class at Veteran Adjusting School in 2013. After a year and a half of working as a field adjuster with CAT and day
claims, Scott attained an inside position with one of the VAS partners. There he gained invaluable knowledge and understanding of the back end of the claims process. Scott’s experience as a file reviewer for various carriers has taught him vital information about the entire claims process and how to submit a consistent product every time. Scott teaches students what is needed on the front end to ensure that a claim can be closed quickly and correctly after the initial inspection.
