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!

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.

Meet Our Boss: TJ Clayton-Cornell We love getting to know the person who leads our team, and today we’re highlighting TJ, Managing Partner for the Upstate! His responses are just one more reason we’re grateful for his leadership and all he brings to our team. When it’s time to unwind, you can usually find TJ watching Clarkson’s Farm or a zombie show, like the Walking Dead. A mantra or piece of advice he tries to live by: Micah 6:8 "He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" Why it matters to him: It’s a reminder just to simply always be kind to my fellow man, to humble myself and always do what is right by others. Favorite place he has traveled to: Ireland Why it’s his favorite: Something about the cliffs and the soft rain Fun fact about TJ: I am a retired semi-professional rugby player We are so thankful for TJ! His unique personality, positive attitude, and the energy he brings to our team make every day better. Be sure to say hello and get to know him a little better next time you see him!

No “A List” company is complete without a powerhouse behind the administrative side, and if it wasn’t for our district's rockstar administrator, Chloe, we would not have been able to be honored as the Best Insurance Services for the Simpsonville Area Chamber of Commerce! Chloe, you truly make this office thrive, and if it wasn’t for your humor, dedication to serving others, and attention to detail, we as a team would not be as effective as we are. #Team #Fraternal #MWA #TopPerformer #AList

A huge thank you to Jim and Kirsten for putting their Do-Good Grant into action and supporting Community Pet Wellness by Rescued in SC, an all-volunteer dog rescue organization based in Mt. Pleasant! Using the $200 in seed money provided through Modern Woodmen’s Do-Good Grant, they helped provide much-needed supplies to support the community vet and its mission of caring for animals in need. We love seeing our members turn their passion for giving back into meaningful action in their communities! 🐾❤️ #DoGoodGrant #ModernWoodmen #CommunityImpact #GivingBack #ForceForGood #RescuedInSC

I'm proud to have the opportunity to support Mac as he presented to a local networking group and shared more about how Modern Woodmen helps families through holistic financial planning. It’s about looking at the whole picture and understanding each family’s goals, protecting what matters most, preparing for the future, and building a plan that grows with them through every stage of life. Proud to see Mac continuing to grow, build connections in the community, and share the impact we can make when we lead with education and put families first! #ModernWoodmen #FinancialPlanning #HelpingFamilies #UpstateSC #HeartOfAnEducator
