Gayle Curtin
A veteran of more than 40 years’ experience in the insurance industry, Gayle has eight years’ experience as an independent agent and worked the remaining time in commercial lines on the carrier side. Roles included underwriting, product development, and training independent agents on ISO coverages.
Gayle earned a Masters in Education from Colorado State University as well as several industry designations from The National Alliance and The Institutes. Among those are CPCU, CIC, and CRM. She holds a Tennessee P&C agent’s license.
The impetus for My Thoughts Exactly! Essays on General Liability Underwriting was Gayle’s extensive insurance background and underwriting mindset. Over more than 20 years of taking underwriting referrals and auditing files left her with a lot to say about risk analysis and the art of thinking, generally. Her first book garnered a five-star review from Literary Titan, which also granted her the Literary Titan Gold Award.
Gayle has also written a memoir about a failed relationship from decades ago. It is a story that reflects the consequences of ignoring warning flags, opposing priorities and the potential partner’s family history and should serve as a warning for all of those who lean on their emotions more than their intellect. The book has earned ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ from Literary Titan and from Readers’ Favorite.
Gayle is now retired from corporate life and has discovered the pleasure of thinking for thinking’s sake and writing to sort out the results of those thoughts in her East Tennessee home with her husband and two rescue cats.
