Why I do what I do

Why I do what I do

I want to help people plan for a secure financial future while also giving back to my community.

I serve members in…

Florida, Idaho, Indiana and Oregon.

I enjoy working with…

veterans, first responders, teachers and small-business owners.

I am very proud of…

my service in the Marine Corps as a security supervisor for Marine One. I’m also proud of my Navy and Marine Corps achievement medals.

Before Modern Woodmen, I…

served in the United States Marine Corps, worked in presidential helicopter security, and was a Florida law enforcement officer.

I chose Modern Woodmen because…

it’s a fraternal financial organization. We give back to our members and grow together.

The best part of my career is…

helping families holistically.

A favorite moment in my career was when…

we participated in yearly back-to-school giveaways to help care for our community.

“Do or do not. There is no try.”

My life outside of work

My family includes…

my fiancée, Mckenzie, and dogs Luna (Lab mix), Reggie (Great Dane) and Daisy (German shepherd).

In my free time, you can find me…

playing pickleball, at the gym or volunteering to give back to the community.

I’m passionate about…

making a positive impact through coaching and mentorship.

My greatest blessing is…

making an impact in the community. Every day is a blessing!

My personal motto is…

If you believe you can or believe you can't, you're right.

My hidden talent is…

singing (I was in a choir for nine years) and culinary arts.

Also…

I lived in Japan for two years. I enjoy traveling to different countries and embracing their cultures.

My local community impact

I have lived in my community…

for over six years.

What I like best about my community is…

how helpful and appreciative the people are, especially during natural disasters. Everyone's more than willing to help.

I’m a member of…

the Manatee Chamber of Commerce and Lakewood Ranch Business Alliance.

My favorite volunteer activities are…

giving back to area veterans and cleaning up beaches.

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

Do-Good® Grant projects. Members choose the project and the local public or nonprofit organization to benefit from it. Modern Woodmen provides seed money for the small, hands-on service project with family and friends.
