Your Financial Representative... Meet Brandon New. Genuine. Funny. Caring. He’s Banshee! Like Sean Cassidy, Brandon is admired for his encouragement, optimism, and ability to lift others when they need it most. His greatest superpower isn't making people laugh—it's helping them leave every conversation with greater confidence than when they arrived. Before becoming a financial representative, Brandon spent more than two decades as a professional photographer and videographer, owning his own production company and working alongside some of the biggest names in country music. Whether behind the camera in Nashville or serving families closer to home, he built a career around telling stories, capturing life's meaningful moments, and helping others shine. Today, Brandon serves middle-aged families and small business owners throughout Central Indiana from our Greenwood office. He has a remarkable ability to make complex financial conversations approachable, proving that planning for the future doesn't have to be intimidating—it can actually be enjoyable. One of Brandon's greatest gifts is his ability to put people at ease. His humor opens the door. His authenticity builds trust. His heart keeps people coming back. "What makes me proud to work with Modern Woodmen is the community impact. We have the opportunity to educate, empower, and truly make a difference in people's lives." Outside the office, Brandon considers his greatest accomplishments to be being a husband and father. His family enjoys traveling, movie nights, and serving together through their church, living out the same values of faith, generosity, and community that shape the way he serves every client. "What makes me proud to work with our team is the support we give one another. We celebrate together, and sometimes we cry together." Anyone who knows Brandon knows he can make almost anyone laugh. He often jokes that you'll never have more fun talking about death than you will with him. While he insisted the above line shouldn't be printed...it perfectly captures his gift. He brings lightness to life's heaviest conversations. That’s Banshee. That’s Brandon. Courage. Perspective. Light. Congratulations, Brandon, on being the positive leader you are for this team, your members, your community, and your family. Be Curious. Be Confident. Be Competitive. Be Kind. #UnapologeticallyFraternal Much Love & Cheers. #ModernWoodmenofAmerica #ThisIsMWA #ThisIsUsMWA #MakeAnImpact #MakeADifference #PeopleHelpingPeople #CommunityMatters #FraternalLife #GiveBack #MWAInTheCommunity #PurposeDrivenWork #BeAHero

Your Financial Representative... Meet Taylor Farley. Authentic. Driven. Compassionate. Her Marvel alter ego? Storm. Like Ororo Munroe, Taylor combines quiet confidence, strength, and unwavering character with a calming presence that helps others navigate uncertainty with hope instead of fear. Before becoming a financial representative, Taylor worked in operations for a title company, helping families navigate one of life's biggest milestones—purchasing a home. That experience taught her the importance of communication, attention to detail, and providing a calm, steady presence during seasons of uncertainty. Today, she enjoys serving and working alongside successful, ambitious women who, like her, are true pro’s within their profession. She also specializes in serving pre-retirees and families, helping them prepare for life's next chapter, whatever it may be, with confidence. To Taylor, financial planning isn't simply about numbers—it's about providing clarity, stability, and peace of mind when people need it most. One of the most courageous decisions Taylor ever made was stepping into this profession. It wasn't simply a career change. It was a leap of faith. A commitment to serving others, offering wise counsel, and helping people move forward with greater confidence than when they first walked through her door. "What makes me proud to work with Modern Woodmen is that we put people and community first." Taylor serves members throughout west-central Indiana out of Greencastle. When she’s not working, she and her husband are raising three boys. As a family, they are deeply involved in their church; investing not only in their family but in the relationships that make their community stronger. "What makes me proud to work with our team is the camaraderie and support we give one another." Spend just a few minutes with Taylor and one thing becomes obvious—she genuinely loves people. In fact, she says that if she can end the day knowing she helped someone improve their situation, it's been a good day. That’s Storm. That’s Taylor Farley. Clarity. Resolve. Peace. Congratulations, Taylor, on the leader you continue to become for your team, your members, your community, and your family. Be Curious. Be Confident. Be Competitive. Be Kind. #UnapologeticallyFraternal Much Love & Cheers. #ModernWoodmenofAmerica #ThisIsMWA #ThisIsUsMWA #MakeAnImpact #MakeADifference #PeopleHelpingPeople #CommunityMatters #FraternalLife #GiveBack #MWAInTheCommunity #PurposeDrivenWork #BeAHero

Your Financial Representative... Meet Collin Bopp. Builder. Mentor. Optimist. The First Avenger… Collin is our Captain America. Like Steve Rogers, he leads with integrity, conviction, and optimism, inspiring others not through words alone, but by consistently setting the example. Before entering the financial services profession, Collin spent years in the contracting industry, learning the value of craftsmanship, hard work, and building things designed to last. Today, he specializes in serving families, small business owners—particularly those in the trades—individuals approaching retirement, and others who share his commitment to faith, family, and long-term stewardship. Whether you're building a home, a business, or a financial future, the principles are remarkably similar. Build on a strong foundation. Think long-term. Do the work the right way. "I enjoy working with Modern Woodmen of America because it gives me room to build a practice around my own convictions rather than someone else's script. I work with business owners and families through a framework called Generational Stewardship Alignment, and the fraternal purpose adds a community dimension most firms simply cannot offer. Security for today, clarity for tomorrow, and a lasting legacy for a thousand generations is not just my tagline here, it is the business model.” Since joining our team, Collin and his wife have welcomed two beautiful children into the world. His faith and family remain the foundation of both his life and the way he serves others. Collin is one of the most optimistic people you'll ever meet. He naturally sees potential in others, often before they see it in themselves. That gift has helped him become an exceptional mentor, successfully guiding two new financial representatives through their first year in the profession. “I am proud to work in the Jackson Division because of how this group operates. We each run our own business, but the mindset here is teamwork, not territory. I came in with the core group that started together and have watched it grow from there, and that shared playbook is a real competitive advantage, for us and for the clients we serve.” Whether serving members, investing in his community, or encouraging teammates to reach their potential, he leads with humility, conviction, and a genuine desire to help others succeed. That’s Capt. America. That’s Collin. Foundation. Leadership. Stewardship. Congratulations, Collin, on the leader you've become for your team, your members, your community, and your family. Be Curious. Be Confident. Be Competitive. Be Kind. #UnapologeticallyFraternal Much Love & Cheers. #ModernWoodmenofAmerica #ThisIsMWA #ThisIsUsMWA #MakeAnImpact #MakeADifference #PeopleHelpingPeople #CommunityMatters #FraternalLife #GiveBack #MWAInTheCommunity #PurposeDrivenWork #BeAHero

Indiana’s MWA Internship. This wasn’t your typical internship. And that was entirely the point. When I designed the curriculum for the first ever cohort, we weren’t trying to create future financial representatives. Yeah, I know. Crazy, right? I wanted to develop financial stewards… and invest in future world-changers. Over eight weeks, our interns explored far more than financial services. We talked about the psychology of money. Investing. Insurance. Retirement. Taxes. Estate planning. Entrepreneurship. Leadership. Relationships. Purpose. We read books together. Worked through real-world case studies. Challenged assumptions. Asked hard questions. And spent a lot of time talking about what it means to build a meaningful life—not simply a successful career. Then we took the classroom into the community. To experience what it means to be fraternal-minded, the crew rolled up their sleeves at Fuller Farms; getting their hands dirty and putting one of the most important lessons of the entire summer into practice: Stewardship isn’t something you learn. It’s something you live. My hope was never that these students would leave knowing everything about financial planning. My hope was that they’d leave more curious about money, more confident in themselves, more prepared for the decisions ahead—and more aware of their ability to make a difference wherever life takes them. Judging by this crew… I’d say we’re off to a pretty great start. Be Curious. Be Confident. Be Competitive. Be Kind. #UnapologeticallyFraternal Much Love & Cheers. #ModernWoodmenofAmerica #ThisIsMWA #ThisIsUsMWA #MakeAnImpact #MakeADifference #PeopleHelpingPeople #CommunityMatters #FraternalLife #GiveBack #MWAInTheCommunity #PurposeDrivenWork
