Why I do what I do
Why I do what I do
I am so blessed to make a living helping others and their communities. Each day, I sit down and help people overcome financial concerns and obstacles. I also get to help my community with our fraternal programs and activities. It’s very rewarding to do what I do, and every day is different. As a fraternal financial services organization, we're built for our members, not for stockholders. Our members enjoy social, educational and volunteer activities.
I serve members in…
Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Washington, Colorado, Texas and California.
I enjoy working with…
young families and young adults just starting to set financial goals, small-business owners who are planning and implementing employee benefits, and people of all ages who are planning for retirement.
I attended…
Augustana College and graduated with a bachelor's degree in finance and marketing. I'm very proud of being a four-time, letter-winner on the Augustana football team and captain my senior year. I was also on the dean's list three out of my four years.
I am very proud of…
qualifying for Modern Woodmen's sales conference the past three years and becoming a member of the Million Dollar Round Table in 2023.
Before Modern Woodmen, I…
attended Bettendorf High School and Augustana College.
I chose Modern Woodmen because…
I believe in what the organization does. Not only does it help members feel financially secure, but it also gives back to communities. This greater purpose separates Modern Woodmen from other financial organizations.
The best part of my career is…
helping members feel financially secure. There's no greater stress than worrying about finances. When our members feel secure, it makes my job worthwhile.
A favorite moment in my career was when…
I created a succession plan for a family-owned business. Succession planning ensures a business can easily pass to the next generation. We created a detailed plan for the owner's two sons to take over the business from their father when the time was right.
