I serve members in…
the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
I enjoy working with…
families and small-business owners.
I attended…
University of Texas in Arlington and am working on my BSN.
Before Modern Woodmen, I…
served as an ELT in the Navy for 5 years aboard the USS Nimitz! I traveled the world seeing tons of different places and working with nuclear reactors.
The best part of my career is…
reaching out and giving back to my community.
My family includes…
my wife, Oakley, and sons, Grayson and Luke.
In my free time, you can find me…
in the garage wrenching engines, tuning motors, and chasing the adrenaline rush of every ride.
I’m passionate about…
my friends and family. I am also a big Broncos fan.
My personal motto is…
Do it with purpose, or don't do it at all!
I have lived in my community…
for about a year. I moved here after my time in the military.
I’m a member of…
Forney Chamber of Commerce.
My favorite volunteer activities are…
hands-on, especially if we get to build something for someone.
It’s very important to me to support my community. My favorite Modern Woodmen programs are:
helping provide positive experiences for kids through Modern Woodmen’s local youth service clubs.
Starting early can mean lower costs and added peace of mind – especially if others rely on you financially.
Ready to go All in for Education? Starting this month, chapters and youth clubs across the country will turn their focus to celebrating educators in their community. Is there an educator in our community you'd like to celebrate? Drop their names below!
Just like spring rain helps new things grow, planning ahead helps your family flourish in the future. Life insurance provides comfort, protection and the promise of brighter days ahead. Let's get through the rainy days together.
We can help you review your needs and plan for your financial future throughout life. (Learn more about Modern Woodmen's Planning for Life system and products.) Because Modern Woodmen is a fraternal financial services organization, we can also explore the benefits of being a member.
