INTERVIEW
JAMES: Alright! Greetings everybody. We are going to have a great discussion this week. Episode 2 of the InsurTech Geek Podcast. It is the early days, but we are going in with the big hitters. I pulled the guy from the batting line up that should be in that cleanup spot. He is the big hitter. Mr. Skip, Brechtel, EVP, and CIO of CCMSI. Skip, how are you doing today?
SKIP: James, I am doing awesome. Great day, Friday, getting ready to have a long weekend. So, looking forward to our conversation today.
JAMES: It is going to be a good one. We just saw each other. We have seen each other a good bit in the last couple of months. You and I have been working together for years now, about 11 years, but we got to see each other at the RIMS Conference where we met some amazing people, saw some great technology. We got to co - present to a neat forum talking about predictive analytics and that is where we talked about having this discussion on the air so that everybody out there in podcasts listener-land, could talk about, and hear about what is going on at one of the leading TPA's in the country with predictive analytics, and of course, a lot more than that. But before we jump into that discussion about the current and future tech that we are implementing, I love giving background on our shows guests to our listeners. They can get to know you a little bit better. Now you have got a unique accent. I believe you call it the Irish Channel. You are from the great city of New Orleans, correct?
SKIP: That is correct. I grew up in the inner city of New Orleans. I attended a high school that was a block and a half, from my house. Walked there daily. And then, I attended the Loyola University of New Orleans. I was fortunate enough to get a scholarship for sports. Played D1 college basketball when they let little short people play the game.
JAMES: Exactly. So, someone who was 5"10 would be allowed to play guard.
SKIP: That is correct. So, even played a little forward now and then, sort of crazy. The game has changed dramatically if you would.
