Viking Connections: Pete Schimeck
Pete Schimeck is a property and terrorism insurance broker for Fortune 1000 clients at the second largest insurance broker globally.
"I lucked out by falling into this incredibly rewarding industry thanks to Karen Petersen recommending Aon’s internship program my senior year. I believe commercial insurance is the best kept secret in the business world and would love to see more Augie graduates pursue it. There is a large talent gap in the insurance world and it is hungry for young talent. A liberal arts education teaches you how to 'learn on the fly' and I wouldn’t be where I am today without the education I received at Augustana."
