I'm proud to be from Republic, Missouri, where I laid the foundation for my journey into the insurance industry. After graduating high school in 2014, I pursued my passion for basketball at Central Methodist University in Fayette, Missouri. There, I balanced athletics with academics, earning my bachelor's degree in business management ahead of schedule and setting my sights on a career dedicated to helping others protect what matters most.
Since 2021, I've been fully immersed in the insurance industry, licensed in Life and Health across multiple states. Based in Springfield, Missouri, I serve clients nationwide, including MO, AR, KS, OK, TX, FL, AL, OH, NC, TN, IN, MI, and NE. My areas of expertise includes Life Insurance, Medicare Supplements, Long-Term Care, Disability Income, critical illness and Annuities. I work closely with each client to build personalized strategies that evolve with life's changes through regular reviews and check-ins.
Outside of work, I'm deeply rooted in my Southwest Missouri community, where my parents still live. Family means everything to me. I'm a proud husband to my wife, Danielle, and a father to our two amazing sons, Oakley and Journey. Together, we enjoy spending time outdoors, going to the lake, and cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs.
Whether you're nearby or across the country, I'm here to help you create a financial plan that fits your goals. My approach is personal, consistent, and focused on building a lasting relationship you can count on.
