Why I do what I do

Why I do what I do

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

I serve members in…

the Columbus Lowndes County and surrounding areas. My wife and I have lived here for the past fifteen years and absolutely love our town.

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

life insurance and annuities.

I enjoy working with…

young adults who are just starting out and wanting to get a head start on financial planning, to retirees who want to ensure their money lasts as long as they do, and everyone in between.

I attended…

Mississippi University for Women and Graduated in 2011.

Before Modern Woodmen, I…

worked in information technology in the medical field for five years, and before that I worked for a company as their Apple Services Manager providing support for all Apple products. I really enjoyed my career in the IT world but wanted a new challenge. I have always wanted to be a part of the financial industry and I decided to take the leap and join Modern Woodmen of America.

I chose Modern Woodmen because…

I believe in the work the company does to support not only the members, but the way in which it gives back to communities around the nation.

The best part of my career is…

knowing that I have been helpful to families whether planning for retirement or protecting them with life insurance for their family. I like knowing I've helped make a positive impact on their lives.

A favorite moment in my career was when…

I was able to help give back to the local homeless coalition by co-sponsoring a local fundraiser.

My life outside of work

My family includes…

my wife April, our daughter Nona, and our three dogs and three cats.

In my free time, you can find me…

reading books, watching my daughter learn, grow, and be adventurous, playing tabletop games, video games and listening to podcasts or audiobooks.

I’m passionate about…

my family, friends, and community.

My greatest blessing is…

my wife, April, and daughter, Nona. They make all the work, no matter how difficult, worthwhile.

My personal motto is…

"Opportunities multiply as they are seized." Sun Tzu

My hidden talent is…

I am very good at getting plants to propagate from cuttings. I once kept a catnip plant alive for almost 10 years from a single stem that was given to me for my cats as a treat.

Community impact

My local community impact

I have lived in my community…

for the past 15 years since I moved to Columbus to attend MUW in 2008, aside from a year living in Washington State.

What I like best about my community is…

all of the activities that are available in the community and how inclusive it has been to me and my family.

It’s very important to me to support my community. My favorite Modern Woodmen programs are:

enjoying social and educational opportunities with my local Modern Woodmen chapter.
