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!

Our team

Our team

Who & how we serve

Our team includes…

administrative staff, Lauren and Chloe; the managing partners for SC, Corey Greene in Charleston and myself upstate; and financial representatives from Anderson and Greenville to Columbia and Charleston.

We serve members in…

South Carolina and the surrounding states, such as North Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia.

We’re passionate about…

protecting members with life insurance and helping them plan secure financial futures, whether that’s through financial services or general insurance options. We help individuals, businesses and families by educating them on how to best protect their goals and dreams.

We focus on…

Helping with comprehensive planning needs. Our representatives have a wide range of knowledge and experience, and we're a full-service financial services provider.

We're unique because…

we are truly committed to the communities we serve – not only in how we help our members meet their financial needs and goals, but also in how we help our local communities and schools through our fraternal activities and programs.

Our current career opportunities include…

financial representatives in the Greenville/Spartanburg/Anderson area.

Also…

We have a range of experience on our team. We are dedicated to helping people from all walks of life with help from a chartered special needs consultant, a fraternal insurance councilor, or chartered leadership fellow.

Community impact

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.

Earlier this year, we had the opportunity to sponsor Lowcountry Veterans Home during their Vibes for Vets event at New Realm Brewing in Charleston. It was an all-day community event filled with live music, bringing people together to support a great cause. Lowcountry Veterans Home provides transitional housing for homeless U.S. military veterans in the Charleston area through their partnership with the VA, helping veterans take the next steps toward stability and independence. We’re always grateful for opportunities like this to support organizations that make a real difference in the lives of those who have served our country. #VibesForVets #LowcountryVeteransHome #SupportOurVeterans #Fraternal #CommunityStrong
