Before coming to work for ADI I worked as an actuarial analyst for a large actuarial firm in Pittsburgh for thirty-three years. I enjoy working here at ADI so much that I brought two of my children with me. Nick who works with our Defined Benefit team and new business and Tracey who works with our Defined Contribution team.
