Who I Am

Chuck Johnston, Insurance Technology Nerd

I am also someone who has grown up in the insurance industry, born 26 miles from Hartford, CT. My mom ran a comptometer for Travelers in the actuarial department. My dad built jet engines for Pratt Whitney (the other thing you do living in CT). My first insurance job was working in an actuarial department referee-ing between actuaries and EDS IT consultants and dealing with special handling insurance cases. That taught me that insurance is an important part of society, that most insurers want to do good, and the value of a promise made that must live 100+ years (Thanks, Bob Fiondella). My goal now is to help better the state of insurance technology serving the LA&H and Employee Benefits space.

 I met my wife in the IT department of an insurance company, and she has tolerated me for over 30 years and still going. I currently live in Ellington, CT. with my amazing wife Ellen and a Pointer named Ava.
