Eugene is the president and founder of Pro Player Insurance LLC. Eugene, turned the world of disability and life insurance into a thriving business of advising professional athletes on risk. Injuries can be kryptonite for professional athletes, and protecting their bodies is a must at all times. While working for a sports agency Eugene got the glimpse into the world of pro sports and quickly realized the need to help professional athletes to advice/protect against the risk of injuries that could end careers. Eugene is a Jewish refugee from Russia, who moved to Cleveland and spent time in Chicago and Los Angeles before making Miami his home.
