Founder and CEO of The Fair Claims Group, Inc., Edmund Walsh aka “Mr. Protocol” first started working for a home remodeling company in his high school years in 1995 in Towson, MD. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin he returned to the home improvement industry working with installation, marketing, sales, operations, and management. He was instrumental in transforming a local restoration contractor from a $4M/year company into a $30+M/year company in Northern Virginia.

Mr Walsh has experience with residential, commercial and industrial property claims. He has experience with claims for hurricane, tornado, hail, fire, lightning, explosion, wind, water, smoke, sewer/drain backup, vandalism, collapse from weight of ice or snow, mold, riots, raccoon infestation, and electrical surge.

Over the next decade, Mr. Humphries served as personnel manager for a local business and was responsible for doubling the size and revenue of that business through proper personnel selection, training, and management.

In 2016, Mr Humprhies accepted a management position at a multi-million dollar general contracting and insurance restoration firm in Maryland.

He wrote and implemented a training manual which resulted in an increase of productivity and sales through a more competent and professional team.

In 2018, Mr. Humphries sought licensing as a Public Adjuster, where he felt his skill set could better be utilized to serve as an advocate for the policyholder.
