McCarty Taps Jack McDermott for Director of Communications
On February 1, Insurance Commissioner Kevin McCarty announced that he was removing the “acting” from Jack McDermott’s title, making him the Director of Communications for the Office of Insurance Regulation. His duties will include overall media relations, public information, speechwriting and content of all Office reports and publications. Jack has worked at the Office for 13 years, including being a manager in the life & health market conduct section and as a senior policy analyst.
But more importantly, Jack is one person who can at least match my obsession with running. While I have been known to run a lot of miles and cover distances from the marathon to 50 milers, Jack has now run 120 races of marathon distance or longer. Most impressive is his 30 marathons under the 3 hour mark. I recall his first marathon in 1999 and have had the pleasure of joining him in races for 10 years now (usually watching him run off in the distance).
