Gerald was instrumental in licensing the first captive insurance company in the State of Hawai‘i in 1987. His practice covers a broad scope of insurance regulatory and captive insurance matters, where his years and depth of knowledge and experience allow him to advise clients on a variety of routine as well as complex insurance arrangements, and corporate governance matters. Gerald's clients range from privately-held entities to national and multi-national Fortune 500 and Fortune 500 companies located both in and outside of U.S., including Japan. He also serves as a speaker and instructor on captive insurance matters locally, nationally, and internationally. In 2013 he received a distinguished service award from the Captive Insurance Companies Association and in 2016 received an award of excellence from the Hawaii Captive Insurance Council. In 2024, he was recognized by Captive Review as one of the 25 most influential captive insurance figures since 1999. Gerald currently serves on the Board of the National Risk Retention Association, which is the national trade organization for risk retention groups.
