ABOUT THE SPEAKER
In 1992, Mr. Nevins was a founding member of Chapman Schewe, which merged with Higginbotham in December 2012. For the past 25 years, he has worked with companies in the analysis, negotiation and recommendation of employee benefits plans for both fully and self-insured clients.  He has spoken at various CPA and Benefit Seminars on healthcare reform and the ACA.  His “hands-on” philosophy is an asset to his clients in ensuring that the employees have a good understanding of the benefit program, and that those programs are offered at the most favorable cost.
