Why I do what I do

Why I do what I do

I am so blessed to be able to make a living by helping others and their communities. Each day, I sit down and help people overcome financial concerns and obstacles. I also get to help my community with our fraternal programs and activities. It’s very rewarding to be able to do what I do.

I serve members in…

Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas.

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

life insurance, annuities, mutual funds and variable annuities.

I enjoy working with…

individuals, families and businesses regarding life insurance and retirement.

I attended…

University of Arkansas.

Before Modern Woodmen, I…

worked in the health care industry as a clinic administrator for 15 years.

I chose Modern Woodmen because…

of the fraternal and not-for-profit difference!

The best part of my career is…

helping my members and building long-lasting relationships.
