Before Modern Woodmen, I…

worked with clients at a credit union.

I chose Modern Woodmen because…

it gives so much back to the community, both through funds and volunteer hours. The culture is so different from previous organizations I’ve worked.

The best part of my career is…

when people tell me they could send their child to college or retire early because I helped them stay on the right path.

A favorite moment in my career was when…

a member thanked me over and over again and gave me a big hug!

This is why I am blessed to be a Financial Representative with Modern Woodmen of America. I have been affiliated with Modern Woodmen for less than 4 months and I was able to get $2,500 in matching funds for the How U Doin Foundation's mobile pizza mission. Eddie Fischer, the founder of How U Doin, is building a clubhouse in Northlake to support at-risk teens. Teens can come together to support one another and also make a meal together. The clubhouse will open in 2026 but Eddie wanted to purchase the pizza ovens now so he would do some community events to promote the foundation. In conjunction with members of the Argyle Business Association and Modern Woodmen, we presented Eddie with a check for $2,500 to partner with the $2,500 raised and Eddie was able to purchase the pizza ovens. A special thank you to the following individuals who made a donation for Modern Woodmen to match. Matt Friess State Farm Joyie Francisco Francisco Mortgage Team David White Vidda Creative I am looking forward to seeing Eddie's vision come to life. Thank you again for the generous donors above and I am so glad that Modern Woodmen of America was able to help fund the pizza ovens.

Who is Modern Woodmen? Contrary to what our name suggests, we're not woodworkers, nor do we clear trees. But we do clear the way for bright financial futures. As a financial representative, I'm my member's guide through the forest. Together, we build a plan that meets their goals, combining life insurance, retirement plans and more. #PioneersForLife #ModernSince1883
