On Monday, Victor and I had the opportunity to attend the Trojan Athletics Senior Workshop at the University of Southern California. It was a privilege to speak with such a talented group of student-athletes and share our journeys, how life evolved after sports, and the ways our athletic experiences continue to shape our careers today. The lessons we learned through competition, discipline, teamwork, and resilience have proven invaluable far beyond the playing field. Thank you to USC for the opportunity to connect with the next generation of leaders. We appreciate the chance to share our experiences and hopefully provide some insight as these student-athletes prepare for their own transitions beyond sports.

Earlier this week, Gio Nelson and I had the privilege of spending the day at San Diego State University connecting with student-athletes across multiple teams. It was rewarding to discuss the lessons, challenges, and share our experiences as former athletes who built careers in financial services. We truly appreciated the opportunity to invest in the next generation of leaders and share insights from our experiences. A special thank you to Brenden Hill for organizing this day. We are grateful for this partnership and look forward to spending more time at SDSU!

Last month, our region came together for our annual banquet at the Pelican Hill Resort. Seeing how big this division has become over the past couple of years is pretty incredible, especially knowing how much hard work went into getting here. I’m extremely proud of this group and grateful to be surrounded by people who genuinely care about growing, and doing things the right way. Huge shoutout to Managing Partners Eric Davis and Victor Nwaba for their leadership and commitment. Excited for what’s ahead and thankful for everyone who’s helped get us to this point.

Get to Know Megan! "After five years as a student-athlete and student government leader at Cal Poly Pomona, I knew I wanted a career rooted in purpose and community impact. I’m proud to have grown with Modern Woodmen of America from Intern (2023), to Ambassador, to full-time in October 2025. In my first six months, I’ve completed my Life & Health license, SIE, and Series 63, and led multiple region-wide fraternal events! I look forward to serving my community, growing as a leader, and building a career centered in financial security and service!" Great job Megan, we are excited to watch your continued growth.
