In 2007, he purchased the HomeInsurance.com web domain and quickly became one of the first resources to enable insurance comparison shopping, online and off.
In 2010, the company purchase HomeownersInsurance.com to build out its footprint, and in 2011 was ranked 61st on the Inc. 500 list of fastest-growing U.S. companies.[1]
