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…

Mississippi and throughout the United States.

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

life insurance, annuities, mutual funds and variable annuities.

I enjoy working with…

families, those approaching retirement, small-business owners and people with unique situations that require detailed planning.

I attended…

Holmes Community College.

I am very proud of…

earning the rank of Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America. I am most proud of my daughter, Lillie Claire, and being given the chance to raise her in a wonderful community.

Before Modern Woodmen, I…

was a volunteer fireman, police officer and then an EMT, where I helped people daily. I now help people by planning for their financial future.

I chose Modern Woodmen because…

I enjoy helping other people, and Modern Woodmen allows me to help even more people through financial planning and fraternal benefits.

The best part of my career is…

being able to help people plan for their future and put together a plan that meets their needs.

A favorite moment in my career was when…

doing a social event where children were given plain cookies and icing to decorate them for Easter. The kids had so much fun, and I saw lots of smiles that night.

Matt and Shed, alongside fellow Modern Woodmen members, recently came together to support BJ McKay and his family after they tragically lost their home to a fire. Thanks to an incredible outpouring of generosity from our community, funds were raised to help the McKay's begin rebuilding and Modern Woodmen was proud to match $2,500 to make an even bigger impact. Even more exciting, the McKay family has officially closed on their new home and has started the process of moving in! 🏡 This is what it’s all about—neighbors helping neighbors and making a difference when it matters most. We’re proud to be part of a community that cares, and none of this would be possible without our amazing Modern Woodmen members. #CommunityStrong #ModernWoodmen #GivingBack #NeighborsHelpingNeighbors

Matt and local Modern Woodmen members recently had the opportunity to partner with Chris Gray, Director of the Charleston Recovery Center, to provide some much-needed supplies for their program. The Charleston Recovery Center in Charleston, MS serves individuals on their journey to overcoming addiction, offering support, accountability, and a path toward a healthier, more stable future. Their work is truly making an impact right here in our community—helping people rebuild their lives one step at a time. We’re grateful for the chance to support such an important mission and to stand beside those working hard to change their story. #ModernWoodmen #CommunityStrong #RecoveryMatters #GivingBack

In April, our local Modern Woodmen chapter had the opportunity to serve a meal to our local linemen in honor of Lineman Appreciation Day a small way to say a big thank you. At Modern Woodmen, giving back to our community is at the heart of what we do, and we are incredibly grateful for the men and women who work tirelessly to keep the lights on especially during challenging times like Winter Storm Fern, when their hard work and quick response made such a difference. We also had some fun door prizes for the linemen as a small token of our appreciation! 🎁 A special thank you to Pig-In-Out BBQ, owners Brit and Tracy Goodin, and their team for catering the meal. As long-time members, they went above and beyond to help make this event a success. We appreciate our linemen more than words can express thank you for all you do! #ModernWoodmen #LinemanAppreciation #ThankYou #CommunityStrong

We’re rallying together to support Clifton McKay, and we need YOU! Come out for a day packed with excitement—raffles, auction items, cake walk, and good food—all for a meaningful cause. Even better? Funds raised will be MATCHED up to $2,500! 🙌 Let’s show what our community can do when we come together. Don’t miss it!
