Welcome to Internships: Insuring our Future by Chris

In the year 2006 I arrived at Cabrini College in Radnor, Pa. as a naïve freshmen. I decided to move 3,000 miles away from my home in San Francisco, Calif, to attend Cabrini, where I would have the opportunity to play college basketball. Although I did not know how to do laundry, make my bed or live without my parents, I began to take in the lessons life as a college student teaches an individual.

My early times at Cabrini taught me all the necessities of life; in addition I learned one particularly valuable lesson. I learned the importance of listening to our predecessors and not only gaining from their experiences in life but taking their advice and improving our lives.

I heard the name Tom Nerney constantly around campus. I learned about his legacy at the college not only as a talented student-athlete, but also as a loving father, husband and benefactor of his alma mater. To my delight he came to my basketball practice and talked to my team about the importance of working together and not playing as individuals, but as one united group. As he left the gymnasium I thought to myself: I would like to live my life like that man.

Mr. Nerney is the CEO of United States Liability Insurance Group, a Berkshire Hathaway Company. His success is immense, but his humble attitude and love of life are what I hope to find in my life. I stuck to my instinct and I emailed Mr. Nerney. He gave me the opportunity to have an internship at his greatly successful company.
Here is my blog on working as intern at USLI. Each day I work in the insurance industry I take away at least one important life lesson. I would like to share with you the knowledge I have learned, the knowledge I am learning, and my goals for the future.
