Buster
the Adjuster

Musician. Claims professional. Speaker. And author of Adjust Accordingly.

He spent over a decade behind a mixing board before he ever touched a clipboard. Some habits never left him. He still listens for the song on the other side of the notes.

The Session Log

Not a highlight reel. Just the takes that mattered, in the order they were recorded.

Timestamps mark where each scene begins in the manuscript, at an unhurried narration pace. Once the audiobook is scored with original music, the real runtime replaces this estimate.

02:16 Berklee He went in to learn the trumpet. He came out understanding that playing music and hearing it are two different disciplines, and that most musicians only ever master the first one.
19:03 The Room A walkout basement, built one piece at a time into a studio. Over a decade of choices. A vinyl record his daddy gave him, kept near the board just to remember why he was doing any of it.
20:21 The Storm It came down that hill with a vengeance, straight through the basement doors. Water, six feet high, in a room he'd built with his hands and his ears.
22:11 Ray His adjuster showed up. Unhurried, and actually listening. "You're a musician," he said. "Use that same ear as an adjuster. We need more people like you in this industry."
28:20 The License "The insurance industry does not need a Buster," he told Ray, laughing. Ray just smiled. Financial reality hit, and he signed up anyway. "Just temporary," he told himself.
37:34 Atlanta His first assignment: a two man steep team, roped up on a roof steep enough to have opinions about his career choice. Somebody finally trusted him to tie off the rope. It held.
42:27 Dallas Two days of orientation, then live on the phones. Five calls stacked at once, and a manager across the floor genuinely asking who was doing the Macarena. He was not dancing.
Now Still Recording Author of Adjust Accordingly, a memoir in nine tracks. Speaker. The one other adjusters call for a second opinion. Same ear. Different board.
