David Massey manages the risk management department of the fifth largest K-12 public school district in the nation with over 315,000 students that employs over 40,000 employees. District assets include $8.04 billion in property values, 1,600 buses, and 1,600 other vehicles. Insurance placement of the district’s insurance programs are handled in-house. The district is largely self-insured and the department handles internally approximately 3,400 self-insured worker’s compensation and liability claims annually. In July 2007 the department’s mission was changed the school board when its responsibilities were expanded to include safety and loss prevention across the district.
In September 2005, the Board of Trustees appointed David as Director. For over 25 years, David held a number of mid-level management underwriting and loss prevention positions for large insurance companies, such as CNA, Continental, Industrial Risk Insurer’s, AIU, CGU, and worked on domestic and foreign insurance programs. David was also the Risk Manager and Safety Director for a construction company for a number of years.
David served for over eight years as a licensed engineering officer in the British Royal Fleet Auxiliary Service and the Royal Naval Reserve. He then immigrated from England to the United States of America in 1976 starting his insurance career with Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection & Insurance Company as a boiler inspector.
