Ben joined CCS with extensive experience in customer service, management, and business development. His communication, organization, and leadership skills are a great addition to the team. Ben’s focus is life and health insurance, including 50-state filings, general compliance, and ad review…although he’s always ready to pitch in wherever he’s needed. A graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Ben enjoys good music, good food, and good beer. He and his wife like to travel, spend time with friends and family, and host and attend gatherings. Most of all, they enjoy spending time at home with their family.

Chris handles the company's technology needs (a.k.a. the resident geek). Currin Compliance has always strived to use current and emerging technologies to increase productivity and decrease reliance on paper output. Chris oversees a combination of in-house resources and cloud services to keep the CCS crew operating smoothly. In his spare time, you'll likely find Chris watching a Formula 1 race, trying out a new cigar while reading a book, or exploring with his wife and kids.

Gator is a heat-absorbing, all-black, double-coated, heavily-panting, outdoor-seeking yet water-resistant Lab-German Shepherd mix. He was surrendered to a rescue in FL on the same day that Sasha (my beloved Alaskan Malamute) died. Coincidence or fate? I did not imagine a discarded southern gentleman would love the cold northeast weather, but he loves running, playing, and digging in the snow!

Gator loves to learn new things and explore his new world and forever home. He is intensely curious, consistently focused, and quickly learns new verbal and physical cues. He brings us so much joy and amusement – we like to think that Sasha sent him to us, knowing he would be as happy as she was here.
