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.

Ringing in a new year of growth, protection, and possibility. We are grateful for every member, every milestone, and every future we help support.

As 2025 comes to a close, now's the time to celebrate and reflect. Did you accomplish what you wanted financially? Answer below!

At Modern Woodmen, our brand colors tell a story. In our early days, members would have jewelry decorated with red (representing life, action), white (pure intentions) or green (eternal life) enamel. Today, our official colors are blue and green, often depicted through sky and land imagery. This expresses our rural roots, while conveying growth and a positive future.
