Why I do what I do

Why I do what I do

I’m passionate about helping my members determine their financial goals. We work together to create a plan based on their unique needs.

I serve members in…

Wisconsin and Texas.

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

life insurance, annuities and mutual funds.

I enjoy working with…

families with members ages 25-45 and mature clients (age 50 and older). In addition, I enjoy working with small- to medium-sized businesses, due to my past experience as a Certified Public Accountant.

I attended…

Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan, where I majored in accountancy.

I am very proud of…

the professional consistency I've shown during my career in business and the financial services industry.

Before Modern Woodmen, I…

worked in various positions using my Certified Public Accounting license.

I chose Modern Woodmen because…

of the organization's long history of service to the communities where we live, work and play.

The best part of my career is…

helping families and small-business owners plan and reach their financial goals.

A favorite moment in my career was when…

my members reached out to me after a loved one passed away and they knew they would be OK financially for years to come because of the plans we'd put in place.

My life outside of work

My family includes…

my wife, Gretchen, my daughter, Kat, and my son, Colton.

In my free time, you can find me…

volunteering and playing golf.

I’m passionate about…

making a difference in the community where I live, work and play.

My greatest blessing is…

my desire to help others in my community.

My personal motto is…

"If you help enough other people get what they want, you'll get what you want."

My hidden talent is…

I can memorize numbers and statistics just glancing at them.

My local community impact

I have lived in my community…

for more than 12 years.

What I like best about my community is…

the people who care about a cause and make this a great place to live and raise a family.

I’m a member of…

the Fox Cities Chamber of Commerce and currently serve as president of the Ambassadors.

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.

Middle school scoreboard

We planned with the middle school parent group to sell concessions at indoor sporting activities. The goal was to raise money for a new scoreboard and accompanying technology to last 30-40 years. A Modern Woodmen Matching Funds project made this goal a success.

Back in the late 1800s and early 1900s, our chapter members sang opening and closing odes at each gathering. Today, many chapters say the Pledge of Allegiance or sing the National Anthem. More than just a nod to Modern Woodmen’s patriotic roots, it’s a tradition that helps unite attendees.
