Why I do what I do

Why I do what I do

I am blessed to help serve others and our communities. I sit down with people every day and help them overcome financial concerns and obstacles by planning for their financial security. It is also rewarding for me to help our communities with our fraternal program offerings and activities.

I serve members in…

my home state of Virginia and numerous other states.

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

life insurance, annuities, variable annuities, securities, and advisory services.

I enjoy working with…

folks from all walks of life, including young people, families, approaching retirees, existing retirees and small-business owners.

I attended…

Eastern Mennonite University.

I am very proud of…

completing my FIC certification, finishing yearly in Modern Woodmen’s top clubs, and being a long-term yearly member of the Million Dollar Round Table.

Before Modern Woodmen, I…

was a general contractor and managed a construction and real estate development business.

I chose Modern Woodmen because…

I had been a member for many years prior to joining Modern Woodmen's work force and have trust in the organization. I appreciate the way Modern Woodmen seeks to better our members’ lives by helping them reach their financial goals.

The best part of my career is…

helping my members reach their financial goals by protecting and providing financial security for their families through life insurance, savings, investments and advisory services, retirement planning, estate planning, and business planning.

A favorite moment in my career was when…

I helped a retired couple for whom I had previously built a retirement home. I helped them with investments and retirement planning. When the husband recently passed away, I was able to help his wife process the death claims with Modern Woodmen and other companies. It was a privilege to help her with those financial decisions in her time of grief.

“My personal motto is that you reap what you sow, and we receive back into our lives according to how we invest in others' lives.”

My life outside of work

My family includes…

my wife Denise, and three married daughters who have blessed us with 11 grandchildren.

In my free time, you can find me…

spending time with my wife and family, hunting, fishing or playing golf.

I’m passionate about…

serving God, my family and friends, my church, my Modern Woodmen members, and my community.

My greatest blessing is…

having peace with God and spending time with family and friends.

My personal motto is…

that you reap what you sow, and we receive back into our lives according to how we invest in others' lives.

My local community impact

I have lived in my community…

for 35 years.

What I like best about my community is…

the small-town atmosphere in which people are friendly and care for one another. In fact, Broadway, Virginia, has been named the safest small town in Virginia.

My favorite volunteer activities are…

serving our community with Matching Fund events through Modern Woodmen, helping folks through our church, and serving with The Gideons International.

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

Matching Fund projects to raise money for those in need.

My favorite memory from a fraternal event is…

when we helped a local crisis pregnancy center through a Matching Fund event.
