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…

northwest Indiana and the Chicagoland area.

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

life insurance, annuities and mutual funds.

I enjoy working with…

individuals, families, those approaching retirement, business owners and nonprofits.

I attended…

Olivet Nazarene University, where I earned a bachelor's degree in music education, and Indiana Wesleyan University, where I earned a master's degree in educational leadership.

Before Modern Woodmen, I…

taught middle school and high school band for 20 years.

I chose Modern Woodmen because…

I believe in the organization for how it supports members to reach their financial goals and the way it allows me to give back to my community.

The best part of my career is…

helping my members. Whether planning for retirement or protecting their family with life insurance, I feel good knowing I make a positive impact on their lives.

My life outside of work

My family includes…

my wife, Nicole, my daughter, Addilyn, and my son, Nolan.

In my free time, you can find me…

cheering on my kids at fine arts performances, spending time outdoors in the summer, serving at my church, or enjoying a cup of coffee with family and friends.

I’m passionate about…

my family and friends, and serving others.

My greatest blessing is…

my family, my health, and the opportunity to help others on their financial journey.

My personal motto is…

"You can go anywhere and do anything if you don't care who receives the credit."

My hidden talent is…

I can play just about any musical instrument.

My local community impact

I have lived in my community…

for the past nine years.

What I like best about my community is…

the amazing people and the small-town feeling. You are only a stranger if you choose to be.

My favorite volunteer activities are…

hands-on activities where I can see the results of my hard work. I also enjoy activities that help children and allow me to bring along my own children to teach the importance of giving back to others.

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

volunteering alongside other Modern Woodmen members.
