Why I do what I do

Why I do what I do

I chose this career because it’s all about helping others. I help my members plan for a secure financial future.

I serve members in…

I primarily serve residents of northeast Mississippi, but I'm available throughout the state.

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

life insurance, annuities, mutual funds and variable annuities.

I enjoy working with…

Individuals, families, those approaching retirement, and small-business owners.

I attended…

Mississippi Gulf Coast and Northeast Mississippi Community Colleges.

I am very proud of…

having been an integral part of helping thousands of Mississippi families achieve their goals by supplying educational scholarships through nonprofit organizations.

Before Modern Woodmen, I…

I was the executive director of Mid America Development Foundation. I was also the executive director of Tri State Educational Foundation for 10 years.

I chose Modern Woodmen because…

I believe in the organization - not only for how it supports members to help them reach their financial goals, but also for the way it supports my community and allows me to give back.

The best part of my career is…

helping my members. This career gave me a super power so to speak, the super power of shrinking and expanding. This career gives me the tools to shrink their worry of protecting family and loved ones in their absence. And I help my clients expand their portfolios through affordable life insurance products and annuities for a solid financial future. I feel good knowing I help make a positive impact on their lives.

A favorite moment in my career was when…

each and every time I am able to positively impact the lives of those I serve becomes my new favorite moment in this career.

“I chose this career because it’s all about helping others. I help my members plan for a secure financial future.”

Members, there's still time for you and your family and friends to join us on our West Coast cruise! Cabins are almost full. Don't miss out on this exciting adventure in Cabo! https://na.eventscloud.com/CaboCruise/

This holiday season, reimagine what giving back can look like. Here are a few ways to make heartfelt community gestures. 1. Partner with a local animal shelter to host a “pet pantry” of donated pet food, treats and toys. 2. Organize a holiday story hour at a local library or school and read seasonal books aloud. 3. Set up a tree at a local business where community members can hang donated hats, gloves and scarves for those in need. 4. Provide moments of joy on everyday routes by leaving holiday cards or small treats for postal workers or delivery drivers. Modern Woodmen members, apply for a $200 Do-Good Grant®️ to try one of these ideas! https://www.modernwoodmen.org/do-good-grant/
