Why I do what I do

Why I do what I do

as a former teacher and coach, I find my purpose in building relationships with my members, educating them, and helping them achieve their financial goals.

I serve members in…

central and southern Wisconsin and the surrounding area.

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

life insurance and annuities.

I enjoy working with…

individuals and families who want clear, easy-to-understand guidance for their financial planning needs.

I attended…

UW Oshkosh and Ripon College for my undergrad where I served as class senator, and earned my masters at Marian University.

I am very proud of…

my background as a teacher and a coach. Those roles have significantly shaped how I serve my community in this career.

Before Modern Woodmen, I…

was a teacher and coach at Waupun for 2.5 years, a JV and varsity football coach, and volunteered as a middle school basketball coach. During this time, I also got my master’s in business management from Marian University. While attending college I worked for a company called Saputo that makes cheese.

I chose Modern Woodmen because…

of fraternalism and making an impact through service and our member programs. There's a major focus on community involvement here, including this year’s focus on education. We're also member-owned.

The best part of my career is…

making a meaningful difference by creating relationships with my members.

A favorite moment in my career was when…

I earned the trust of members, and we started cultivating a relationship. I also enjoy nurturing young readers through the Birthday Book Club.

My life outside of work

In my free time, you can find me…

supporting local Fox Valley community businesses, golfing, and spending time with friends and family.

I’m passionate about…

my faith, family, golfing, boating and Wisconsin sports.

My greatest blessing is…

my faith, family and the network that supports me personally and professionally.

My personal motto is…

serve others with integrity and put their needs first.

Community impact

In the community

My local community impact

I have lived in my community…

my entire life. I grew up right outside Waupun and lived in a small town called Alto. I have been in the Fox Valley area for over six years.

What I like best about my community is…

that it's home! I can go down to Main Street and people will wave and say hi. People genuinely care for one another and give back to make this community great.

I’m a member of…

River Valley's young adult youth group.

My favorite volunteer activities are…

mentoring and tutoring kids, coaching youth sports on the weekends, and anything hands-on where I can see the impact my members and I make.

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

Matching Fund projects to raise money for those in need.

My favorite memory from a fraternal event is…

helping with an ALS Walk with my managing partner. Seeing how ALS impacted each participant moved me. Listening to their stories and how it impacted them was a privilege.

Had a great time at the Alto Fair! It was a wonderful experience and a great opportunity to connect with the community. I’m looking forward to getting back to the office and continuing to work hard to serve the people and communities around us! #AltoFair #AltoWI #Waupun #WaupunWI #FondDuLacCounty #DodgeCounty #FondDuLac #ModernWoodmenOfAmerica #ModernWoodmen #Fraternalism #Community #CommunityService #GivingBack #SupportingOurCommunities #Wisconsin

Hello everyone! I hope you’re all having a great summer! ☀️ As we all know, summer can get very busy, but over the past few weeks I had the opportunity to participate in a service project at the Waupun Area Food Pantry. Along with an incredible group of volunteers, we were able to reorganize parts of the pantry, complete some light landscaping, wash windows, clean floors, and help make the space more welcoming for those who rely on it. I was also grateful to give back by donating some much-needed supplies. The best part of the experience, though, was connecting with members of our community. While I was there, I had the privilege of speaking with the director of the food pantry. She shared that one of their greatest current needs right now is men’s clothing. If you have any gently used or new men’s clothing that you no longer wear, please consider donating it. Items such as shirts, pants, jackets, sweatshirts, shoes, socks, belts, and other essentials can make a meaningful difference for someone in need. If you’d like to donate, please send me a message. I’d be more than happy to help coordinate getting your donations to the Waupun Area Food Pantry. Community is strongest when we come together to support one another. Every donation, no matter how big or small, has the potential to make a real impact. Thank you to everyone who continues to make a difference in the lives of others. ❤️ #Waupun #WaupunWI #FondDuLacCounty #DodgeCounty #WaupunAreaFoodPantry #CommunityService #GiveBack #HelpingOurCommunity #Volunteer #DonateClothes #MensClothing #ModernWoodmen #ModernWoodmenOfAmerica #Fraternalism #PeopleHelpingPeople #CommunityStrong #MakingADifference #ServeOthers #StrongerTogether #Wisconsin
