We’re excited to have Ryan Chung as our new Workers’ Compensation Marketing Representative in our Fresno office.
Ryan is a graduate of Bullard High School. He is a proud father to his 17-year-old daughter, Madison, who is following in his footsteps and attending Bullard High School. Ryan recently helped his family celebrate a very special milestone as his grandmother turned 100 this year!
When he’s not busy working, Ryan enjoys whipping up dishes, catching up on movies, and cherishing time with his family and friends.
If you see Ryan around, please welcome him to DiBuduo & DeFendis!
Welcome, Kailey Reeves, to D&D’s Employee Benefits Department as an Enrollment Specialist. Kailey comes to us with great enthusiasm matched by her passion for the outdoors.
Kailey is newly married and lives in the countryside of Selma. Also included in her family are furry and scaly friends including 2 dogs, 2 cats, 4 chickens, a snake, a gecko, and a couple of frogs. Sounds like the countryside is perfect for her family! I wonder which one she’ll enter in our annual Halloween Pet Costume Contest.
Please welcome Kailey as she settles into her new role here at DiBuduo & DeFendis.
Good morning everyone.
