Why I do what I do

Why I do what I do

Walking through life with people is the most rewarding career I could possibly imagine.

I serve members in…

Hampton Roads and the Outer Banks communities. I'm also always looking for an excuse to visit your state!

I can help you plan for life using a variety of tools, including…

life insurance and annuities.

I enjoy working with…

families, business owners (especially small-business owners), individuals approaching retirement, women, military members and first responders.

I attended…

William and Mary; Universitaet Kassel, Hesse, Germany, (Fulbright Scholar attached to the Brothers' Grimm Archives); and the University of Virginia.

Before Modern Woodmen, I…

was a French teacher for 14 years, worked in advertising for six years, was a practice manager for five years, and was at a different broker-dealer for three years.

I chose Modern Woodmen because…

it is a strong organization with 143 years of history heavily focused on holistic support for its members, a deep focus on giving back to the community, and a record of treating employees like family.

The best part of my career is…

helping members have peace of mind, understand their finances, and communicate those to their loved ones.

A favorite moment in my career was when…

listening to members express hopes and dreams and watching their spouses learn new things about them.

Also…

before I began working in financial services, I thought the industry was about numbers and money. After I started working in the industry, I realized it's about people, relationships and community – and that's why I love it so much!

My life outside of work

My family includes…

my fiancé, Chris; our silver Labrador retriever, Smokey; my father, Jim; mother, Cheryl; sister, Amy; her husband, Michael; and their children, Elora and Boaz.

In my free time, you can find me…

seeing live music, particularly at the Tap Shack in Duck, North Carolina; Avalon Pier in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina; and New Realm Brewing Company in Virginia Beach. You'll also find me playing Puzzles & Survival as Commander UmphLovesWar in the Wraiths of Smaug alliance in State 831.

I’m passionate about…

faith, family, community, my home state (Virginia, Mother of Presidents), the Outer Banks, live music and local businesses, which I love promoting and supporting.

My greatest blessing is…

my faith in God; my partner, Chris; my father, Jim; and our dog, Smokey.

My personal motto is…

"Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity." – Simone Weil

My hidden talent is…

I have an unusual knack for connecting seemingly unrelated dots and helping people make sense of complex situations. My superpowers are pattern recognition, translating complexity into clarity, finding the right people, turning chaos into a plan, and seeing systems rather than isolated problems.

Also…

I'm a French philosophy nerd, Fulbright Scholar, Star Wars fan, live music enthusiast (Umphrey's McGee, Phish, Widespread Panic, Spafford, and moe.), AI thought leader, community builder, professional dot-connector, systems thinker, and lifelong learner.

Community impact

My local community impact

I have lived in my community…

my entire life. I was born and raised in Virginia Beach and have owned my home for over 23 years. My grandmother built my home in Southern Shores, North Carolina, over 40 years ago.

What I like best about my community is…

how many wonderful places there are to eat, walk, socialize and enjoy live music outdoors.

My favorite volunteer activities are…

with the organizations my family supports, particularly JCOC, PIN Ministries, Seton House, Samaritan House, and Crisis Pregnancy Center.

It’s very important to me to support my community. My favorite Modern Woodmen programs are:

our Hometown Hero events and any other events we attend alongside other organizations while providing volunteers or material and financial support.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8: AI YEARBOOK DAY 📚 AI SPIRIT WEEK — DAY 2 It's Yearbook Day. And your AI gets to choose your superlative. Copy and paste this: PROMPT: Based on everything you know about me from our conversations, what ONE yearbook superlative would you give me? You must invent the superlative specifically for me. Do not choose something generic like "Most Likely to Succeed." Pick exactly ONE. Then explain your choice using specific patterns you've observed across our conversations. You may be flattering, unflattering, ridiculous, or all three—but you have to defend your answer. No honorable mentions. No alternatives. COMMIT. 😂 If your AI doesn't know much about you yet, tell it a little about yourself first—or ask what information it would need to make a better choice. Then share your superlative in the comments. Tomorrow: AI GUIDANCE COUNSELOR DAY. #Tuesday #September #BackToSchool #AISpiritWeek #YearbookDay #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #PromptEngineering #AILiteracy #FutureOfWork #HumanCenteredAI #SpiritWeek

A baby’s arrival should be filled with joy, but sometimes uncertainty follows. As a Modern Woodmen member, you may have access to our Newborn Life Insurance Benefit. It’s designed to give families: · Financial support in tough moments. · A path to lifelong protection for your child. Every parent deserves peace of mind. If you’re expecting or you just welcomed a baby, let’s talk. https://www.modernwoodmen.org/my-membership/member-benefits/newborn-benefit/?utm_source=hearsay_site&utm_medium=1893303&utm_campaign=3282180 #Tuesday #TuesdayTip

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 7: WELCOME TO AI SPIRIT WEEK 🎉🤖 For the past several weeks, I've been talking about Back to School in the year AI becomes increasingly embedded in education. We've talked about curiosity, memory, productive struggle, creativity, agency, teachers, relationships, judgment, privacy, and the much larger question underneath all of it: How do we help human beings flourish while growing up alongside increasingly capable AI? But it's Labor Day. The traditional back-to-school season is here—even though plenty of students have already been back in school for weeks. So this week, we're taking a recess. 😂 Welcome to AI SPIRIT WEEK. For the next six days, I'll post one ridiculous, interesting, or unexpectedly revealing prompt you can try with whatever AI you use. No expertise required. No technical vocabulary. No white paper. Just play. Because learning how to experiment with AI is becoming a practical skill in the professional world, and I don't think learning it has to begin with a training manual. The most solid knowledge is anchored with memories or stories, and I think the learning that will stick the easiest, is learning done through play. So experiment, change the prompt, tell the AI it's wrong, add constraints, write some "house rules" for how you and the AI will collaborate. Ask why, compare your result with somebody else's, see what happens. I'll play along too—and I encourage you to put your results in the comments. Then next week, we'll put our serious hats back on and start looking at what is actually happening as AI enters schools and education. Until then: Happy AI Spirit Week. 🎉 Tomorrow: AI YEARBOOK DAY. #Monday #LaborDay #September #BackToSchool #AISpiritWeek #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #AILiteracy #FutureOfWork #FutureOfEducation #HumanCenteredAI #LifelongLearning #SpiritWeek

To all those who continue to work tirelessly on the front lines; spend countless hours away from their families; and will work long hours throughout the holidays….WE SEE YOU! THANK YOU! #LaborDay #LaborDay2026 #FirstResponders #Monday #MondayMotivation
