Life Insurance Book Review

Welcome to my first blog post - ever. Quite the non-event. I was surprised how smoothly the blog software installation went.

I also run www.actuarialoutpost.com, a site for actuaries. Actuaries are the folks who price insurance, kind of a boring statistician. I handle the advertising and tech issues for the site in my spare time, leaving the moderation to my friend Traci (who is also active in the actuarial community).

As I’ve been kicking around the insurance field for so long, some of it’s rubbed off on me, so I figured reviewing insurance and related books would be right up my alley. So here we go .
