Todd Guren writes: “I recently changed jobs, which gave me an occasion to send a class note. I have been in health insurance for 15 years and mentioning that I work in health insurance still stops any conversation at parties. I switched to a start-up health insurance company as a remote worker for a Medicare Advantage plan called Alignment Healthcare and really like both the start-up and working remotely. My family (two kids ages 9 and 13) and I have been very lucky during the pandemic with our health and flexibility with school and schedules. My oldest loves his Waldorf School and completed a successful ultimate frisbee season with his team. I have been very jealous of the Waldorf curriculum—he does woodworking, music, learns how to quilt, and will even get to work in a forge in high school. If I were still at Brown, I would have tried to turn those topics into a major. We are still living in Portland, Oregon, enjoying the outdoors, and playing lots of Dungeons and Dragons. I am still knitting and finished a Big Lebowski sweater for both myself and my son. If any of my classmates are in the Pacific Northwest, I always look forward to connecting.”
