    Kevin Glaser

    In addition to writing, Kevin Glaser enjoys biking, walking, guitar playing and singing. His most recent book, Inside the Insurance Industry - 3rd Edition, continues in the vein of his two prior books as a consumer-driven educational resource that explains to readers the inner workings of insurance companies and how insurance is sold. By better understanding various aspects of the overall insurance process consumers can save money and obtain broader coverages. Mr. Glaser has also written The Great Tompall: Forgotten Country Music Outlaw, which provides an in-depth look at the life of one of country music's least recognized - but most iconic and influential performers and business owners. Given unprecedented access to Tompall, this book tells his story through his own words and through the words of those who knew him best as the result of many lengthy interviews. In addition to providing never-before known information about Tompall, this book provides historical information about Nashville and gives a glimpse of what country music was like during the 1960s up to the 1990s. Glaser's primary occupation involves providing litigation support and expert witness testimony, insurance and risk management consulting and teaching insurance courses across the USA.
