Before Modern Woodmen, I…
graduated college with a teaching degree but couldn’t find a teaching job. I was fortunate to land a job opportunity on a large crop farm, where I worked until I started my financial services practice with Modern Woodmen.
I chose Modern Woodmen because…
of our fraternalism. When I was about 12, my former regional director and his wife showed up at my mom's house with hats, coats and gloves for my sisters and me. That simple act of kindness stuck with me. When I had the opportunity to become a representative with Modern Woodmen, I knew I wanted to be part of this organization.
The best part of my career is…
the relationships. I have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with people every day.
A favorite moment in my career was when…
I delivered my first death claim. Once you deliver a death claim to a family, you instantly understand the power of life insurance and what it does for families. That money you bring to the family can't bring their loved one back, but it can pay off a mortgage, replace income, put kids through college and create a legacy for the loved one who’s no longer here.
