You’re young and free. You’ve just finished college and seeking your new adventure. Would you rather work for pennies or make real money? Although being an independent insurance adjuster is more than writing claims, it takes more training than you might know. Today I’m talking with Jason Timmerman from Richtop Aerial Technology - a young entrepreneur that went from rodeo cowboy to keen go-getter.

Jason explains the beginning of starting young as an independent adjuster and learning your way through the business. Even though he admits there are ups and downs of the business, he’s thrilled about being a claims adjuster. Jason also expresses the adjustment you must make to have a successful business and explains the importance of knowing the basics of an independent adjuster, licensing, and networking.
