Why I do what I do

Why I do what I do

I'm so blessed to make a living by helping others and their communities. Each day, I sit down and help people overcome financial concerns and obstacles. I also get to help my community with our fraternal programs and activities. It’s very rewarding to do what I do.

I serve members in…

Jacksonville, St. Augustine and the greater north Florida region.

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…

mid-career professionals, families, business owners and pre-retirees.

I attended…

the University of Virginia and NOVA Southeastern University.

I am very proud of…

building a successful financial services practice.

Before Modern Woodmen, I…

was a telecommunications executive and trade and investment consultant in South Africa.

I chose Modern Woodmen because…

I believe in the organization - not only for how it supports members to 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. Whether it's planning for their retirement or protecting their families with life insurance, I feel good knowing I helped make a positive impact on their lives.

A favorite moment in my career was when…

I've helped several friends and members create retirement plans so they'll never outlive their savings.

As you buy gifts this holiday season, don't forget about the amazing small businesses in our community. What small business is your favorite?

We've backed our promises made to members since 1883. Modern Woodmen paid its first death claim to Henrietta Mayer of Iowa in 1884. It totaled $698.58. Since then, we've continued to help families feel secure through life insurance. In 2023, payments and benefits to members totaled $1.65 billion. This includes death benefits, annuity payments and surrender benefits. #Modernsince1883
