Why I do what I do

Why I do what I do

I’m passionate about helping my members determine their financial goals. We work together to create a plan based on their unique needs.

I serve members in…

west Tennessee.

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

life insurance, annuities and mutual funds.

I enjoy working with…

families, small-business owners, those approaching retirement, and anyone who wants a secure financial future.

I attended…

Perry County High School and The University of Tennessee at Martin.

I am very proud of…

becoming securities licensed within my first six months with Modern Woodmen of America.

Before Modern Woodmen, I…

worked as a services sales specialist at Dell Technologies.

I chose Modern Woodmen because…

I'm a firm believer in this organization and how it supports its members to reach their financial goals. This organization also allows me to give back to the community I grew up in and other communities in need.

The best part of my career is…

seeing the smile on someone's face when they realize they're not only approaching but also exceeding their financial goals. It's very rewarding to help people retire comfortably and have peace of mind knowing their families are on the right track for financial success.

A favorite moment in my career was when…

I saw firsthand how life insurance prevented financial devastation and eased emotional pain following a death.
