Bobby crafted and led numerous bespoke builders risk programs developing solutions to fit nuanced unique problems from managing the needs of mega-multi-billion dollar LNG projects (e.g. Corpus Christi Liquefaction, Venture LNG), to assessing and underwriting the newer challenges that arise when working within the expanding renewables industry (e.g. Hecate Energy Solar, Global Clean Energy Biodiesel). Within Loss Control as both a third party consultant (BakerRisk) and then as a carrier representative (Starr Technical Risks Agency), Bobby performed engineering surveys and inspections at refineries and petrochemical facilities all over the world, developing relationships with companies such as Phillips 66, Equate, CPChem, QatarChem, Valero, and Magellan Midstream.
