Atlanta, GA - July 6, 2006 - Custard Insurance Adjusters, Inc. is pleased to announce the appointment of Michael Utlak to its Sales & Marketing Team. Utlak will be responsible for the territory that includes Virginia, North and South Carolina.

"With 31 years of experience in the insurance industry, Michael has become extremely valuable to our company, and we're thrilled that he has joined our Sales & Marketing Team. His experience and knowledge will prove to be strong assets in communicating and negotiating with our partners," stated Rick Linville, Senior Vice President and Director of National Sales & Marketing.

Utlak began his career with a major independent company as an adjuster, which later progressed into a supervisory position. Looking to broaden his experience, Utlak accepted an account administrator position with an international self insured.
