About me

About me

About me

Who I am at and outside of work

My family includes…

my wife, Leigha; son, Raiden; and our dogs, Daphne and Dahlia.

I'm a member of…

the Upstate Christian Chamber of Commerce, the Air Force Sarg Association, and Living Vine Community Church.

I'm passionate about…

my son, my church, and rugby.

In my free time you'll probably find me…

coaching high school rugby across the state of South Carolina or at the gym preparing for a fitness competition.

My greatest blessing is…

my wife, Leigha, being introduced to me at 18 years old and being together ever since.

Also…

my wife and I love to work on our property where we have chickens, guineas and turkeys!

Community impact

How we make a difference

We feel it’s important to support the communities we serve because…

we want to give back to the places we call home and the people who live there. There are many foundations and causes, but we sometimes don't see the impact at the local level. We feel it's important to improve our communities and focus on making a local impact.

We feel strongly about supporting our communities at a local level. One way we're able to make a positive impact is through Modern Woodmen activities and programs. We especially enjoy:

enjoying social and educational opportunities with my local Modern Woodmen chapters.

Our philosophy on volunteering is…

it’s more fulfilling to give than to receive. We get so much more than we give when we help our communities and families.

We’re most proud of…

the chapters upstate who give back thousands of dollars every year to the communities where we’re located. We’re also proud of the impact we can provide for families and the community believing in us.

Big congrats to Trent on passing the Series 7 and officially promoting to Financial Representative! The Series 7 exam is a major milestone in the financial industry. It’s a licensing exam that qualifies individuals to buy and sell a wide range of securities, like stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and more. It ensures representatives have the knowledge needed to guide clients, explain investment options, and help families make informed financial decisions. Hard work, discipline, and a heart for serving others on full display. Proud to have leaders like Trent growing with Modern Woodmen of America and making an impact in our communities. Here’s to what’s next! #ModernWoodmen #Series7 #FinancialRepresentative #Promotion #CareerGrowth #MakingAnImpact

Last month, Liberty Networking hosted a social event at The Mill at Fountain Inn in support of an incredible mission, Pour Out Project. It was an evening centered around connection, purpose, and impact, raising over $6,000 to help further their mission. Pour Out Project is an Upstate-based nonprofit dedicated to empowering other local organizations to expand their reach. By providing strategic coaching, capacity-building support, and sustainable funding, they help nonprofits do more of the work that truly changes lives. It is a privilege to stand alongside Pour Out Project as they pour into our community, and we are excited to continue supporting work that truly makes a difference across the Upstate.

I had the privilege of spending the morning with Harold at the Pickens Azalea Festival. We had the opportunity to connect with so many individuals and families, sharing what Modern Woodmen is truly all about. As a Managing Partner and Financial Representative, moments like these go far beyond just conversations about products or services. It’s about being present, listening to people’s stories, understanding their goals, and helping guide them towards financial security. We are grateful to represent an organization that puts people first and to continue building relationships that make a difference. #MakeAnImpact #ServingOthers #UpstateSC #FutureFocused #StrongerTogether
