About Me

Visit TonyCanas.com for the always-up-to-date version of my bio and resume. Follow me on twitter @TonyCanas4 I grew up in Costa Rica. Studied at Iowa State University for a BS in Management Information Systems (2006) and an MBA (2011). I have been working in Property Casualty Insurance since 2009 and have finished my CPCU, ARM, AU, ARe, AIC, ASLI, API, AMIM, AIS, and AINS insurance designations along with Toastmaster's CC and ACB. I'm actively working to earn every designation the AICPCU offers. I have worked in claims, underwriting and I am now part of the Financial Leadership Development Program (FLRP) at Nationwide. At Nationwide I co-founded the Des Moines and Scottsdale chapters of the Gen Y Associate Resource group. I was recently featured in an article in the AICPCU's national magazine The Edge: http://http://www.aicpcu.org/doc/edge/TheEdge_June2011_Web.pdf and in the Iowa CPCU Society Newsletter: http://cpcu-iowa.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/February-2012-ChapterGram.pdf I am here representing myself, not representing Nationwide. My advice is simply the opinion of someone who has a lot of insurance education and has worked in claims, underwriting and finance. I do not sell insurance products. If you are looking for insurance I do encourage you to check Nationwide by calling us at http://www.nationwide.com . I promise you, we are on your side.
