Vince writes... I graduated from Hobart in 1991 and worked for a couple years as a technical writer for an engineering firm in NC before heading to graduate school. I studied Applied Mathematics at Dartmouth and earned a Masters Degree in 1995. I worked at Aon Consulting in NC for two years and William M. Mercer in Rochester for 6 years before taking the job with EBS. I finished my Enrollment exams in 2000 and my Fellowship exams in 2001. I am currently a pension actuary with EBS Benefit Solutions in Fairport. I provide consulting services to roughly 25 pension and postretirement medical plans. I am a Fellow in the Society of Actuaries, a Member of the American Academy of Actuaries, a Fellow in the Conference of Consulting Actuaries and an Enrolled Actuary under ERISA. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) is a federal law that sets minimum standards for most voluntarily established pension and health plans in private industry to provide protection for individuals in these plans. I am married to Roz Yard Cassano who is a 1990 graduate of William Smith and have two children, Riesa - age 6 and Cole - age 4. We live in Bushnell's Basin, NY. In my free time I serve as principal clarinetist for the Genesee Symphony Orchestra and the Livingston Symphony Orchestra (formerly called the Avon Symphony Orchestra). I am also a brewer, and a member of UNYHA (Upstate NY Homebrewers Association). I manage to send some entries to a few annual competitions and pick up a medal now and again. The latest experiment has been Mead, which is still fermenting---it should be ready to bottle in January sometime. ---From Vince Cassano,
