Why I do what I do

Why I do what I do

as a former teacher and coach, I find my purpose in building relationships with my members, educating them, and helping them achieve their financial goals.

I serve members in…

central and southern Wisconsin and the surrounding area.

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

life insurance and annuities.

I enjoy working with…

individuals and families who want clear, easy-to-understand guidance for their financial planning needs.

I attended…

UW Oshkosh and Ripon College for my undergrad where I served as class senator, and earned my masters at Marian University.

I am very proud of…

my background as a teacher and a coach. Those roles have significantly shaped how I serve my community in this career.

Before Modern Woodmen, I…

was a teacher and coach at Waupun for 2.5 years, a JV and varsity football coach, and volunteered as a middle school basketball coach. During this time, I also got my master’s in business management from Marian University. While attending college I worked for a company called Saputo that makes cheese.

I chose Modern Woodmen because…

of fraternalism and making an impact through service and our member programs. There's a major focus on community involvement here, including this year’s focus on education. We're also member-owned.

The best part of my career is…

making a meaningful difference by creating relationships with my members.

A favorite moment in my career was when…

I earned the trust of members, and we started cultivating a relationship. I also enjoy nurturing young readers through the Birthday Book Club.

My life outside of work

My family includes…

my mother, Paula; father, Mike; sister, Ashley; brother in-law, Josh; and nephew, Hudson.

In my free time, you can find me…

supporting local Fox Valley community businesses, golfing, and spending time with friends and family.

I’m passionate about…

my faith, family, golfing, boating and Wisconsin sports.

My greatest blessing is…

my faith, family and the network that supports me personally and professionally.

My personal motto is…

serve others with integrity and put their needs first.

My hidden talent is…

connecting with people from all walks of life. I have a positive attitude in any situation.

Community impact

In the community

My local community impact

I have lived in my community…

my entire life. I grew up right outside Waupun and lived in a small town called Alto. I have been in the Fox Valley area for over six years.

What I like best about my community is…

that it's home! I can go down to Main Street and people will wave and say hi. People genuinely care for one another and give back to make this community great.

I’m a member of…

River Valley's young adult youth group.

My favorite volunteer activities are…

mentoring and tutoring kids, coaching youth sports on the weekends, and anything hands-on where I can see the impact my members and I make.

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

Matching Fund projects to raise money for those in need.

My favorite memory from a fraternal event is…

helping with an ALS Walk with my managing partner. Seeing how ALS impacted each participant moved me. Listening to their stories and how it impacted them was a privilege.

🇺🇸 Happy Veterans Day! Today, I’m thankful for the freedoms we enjoy and the incredible people who have served our country. A special thank you to Dylan, a former U.S. Air Force veteran, current teacher and coach, who I’ve had the privilege of coaching alongside. Thank you, Dylan, and all veterans for your service and continued impact on our communities! 🇺🇸 #VeteransDay #ThankYouVeterans #USAirForce #VeteranAppreciation #Community #TeachersAndCoaches #FreedomIsntFree

🐦🪶 BIRDS OF A FEATHER 🪶🐦 I want to take a moment to thank everyone who shared, donated, collected, or went out of their way to support Birds of a Feather! A special shoutout to Luke Tranel, Fond du Lac School Board Member, for his support and generosity! I was amazed to see socks coming in from people all across Wisconsin! The amount of support and willingness to give back has been incredible. Thank you again to everyone who played a part in making this cause a success. It truly takes a community! #BirdsOfAFeather #CommunitySupport #GivingBack #FondduLacWI #FondduLacHighSchool #WisconsinStrong #NeighborsHelpingNeighbors #MakingADifference #ModernWoodmen

I’m excited to offer Money & Me℠, a free financial literacy program for K-8 students. Once your class completes 3-5 lessons, your classroom is eligible for a $50 donation to use however you choose! The program is: • Prewritten, easy to teach, and tied to learning standards. • Flexibly paced to fit your classroom schedule. • Available at no cost to you or your school. I’m limited in donations this school year. Don’t wait to send me a message if you’re interested or know an educator who might be! I’d love to help bring financial literacy (and a little extra funding) to more local classrooms.

🌳 DID YOU KNOW? Your Modern Woodmen Do-Good Grant® can make a BIG difference in your community! Here’s one great example! Over the summer we combined TWO Do-Good Grants to help revitalize a local park! The funding helped cover materials for projects like painting and installing bird netting to improve the space for the community. Giving back doesn’t always mean getting your hands dirty! You can support a meaningful project financially, volunteer your time, or help make improvements behind the scenes. ⭐ A REMINDER TO MODERN WOODMEN MEMBERS: Eligible members can receive ONE Do-Good Grant per household, per year to support a hands-on community project. Two grants. One cause. A lasting community impact. What could you do with your Do-Good Grant? 👉 Learn more: https://www.modern-woodmen.org/my-membership/member-benefits/do-good-grant/ #ModernWoodmen #DoGoodGrant #GivingBack #CommunityImpact #FondDuLacCounty #WaupunWI #RiponWI #CommunityMatters
