Why I do what I do

Why I do what I do

I chose this career because it’s all about helping others. I help my members plan for a secure financial future.

I serve members in…

Grand Island, Kearney, Hastings and surrounding towns.

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

life insurance and annuities.

I enjoy working with…

everyone! Whether you're a single, married, have kids, or are an empty-nester, I’d love to help you in any way I can!

I attended…

Central Community College-Columbus and Wayne State, where I earned a degree in marketing and international business.

Before Modern Woodmen, I…

worked at Menards for 14 years and drove a truck for about one year.

I chose Modern Woodmen because…

I believe in the organization's goals. It not only supports members to reach their financial goals, but it also helps support my community and allows me to give back.

The best part of my career is…

helping families protect themselves and their loved ones.

A favorite moment in my career was when…

helped a woman protect her nieces and nephews. Her brother was down on his luck, and she wanted to ensure the family would be OK if tragedy struck. It could mean so much for the family!

“Let me help you set yourself up to succeed! Financial security isn't just for the wealthy; it's for everyone. Insurance isn't an expense; it's an asset and a tool. Let's reach higher than we ever thought possible!”

My life outside of work

My family includes…

my fiancée, Gabby, and our cats Bagheera, Gonzo and Miichi. I don't know how we ended up with them, but they're here now and loved.

In my free time, you can find me…

playing frisbee golf or games with friends or watching movies with Gabby.

I’m passionate about…

learning and helping people with financial literacy. Never stop growing as a person!

My greatest blessing is…

my fiancée. I thank my lucky stars she's in my life.

My personal motto is…

Pause, breathe, reset. Whether you’re frustrated, upset or angry, taking a moment to reflect and reset is usually all you need to get to a solution.

My hidden talent is…

beginner's luck! It's uncanny how often I do something well on the first try. But the second try is up to fate.

Current insights

Thanksgiving is about appreciating the people around you and being grateful for the things you have. Here are four ways you can help spread cheerful vibes to our community. 1. Deliver meals to seniors to bring holiday cheer. 2. Write thank-you notes for veterans, health-care workers or teachers. 3. Support a family in need by sponsoring a Thanksgiving meal. 4. Create care packages for homeless shelters or deployed troops. Members, did you know you can apply for a Do-Good Grant®️ to create one of these projects?
