Personal
Born in Mena, Arkansas, I moved to Fayetteville like many people to attend the University of Arkansas. Upon graduation I joined Northwestern Mutual as a full time advisor and have been with the company ever since. When I am out of the office you may find me on some of the beautiful trails located all around Northwest Arkansas with our labrador, Gunner, exploring the natural state. We also love to spend as much time as possible in the mountains of Montana, Colorado, and Wyoming in winter and spring skiing. In addition to our outdoor activities we also love to go on long drives through the mountains with our local Porsche club and explore the Arkansas backcountry by flying into remote areas with our local flying club.
I am also passionate about helping our community. I have been an advocate and fundraiser for Beads of Courage® since 2019. They are a non-profit organization that helps tell the story of childhood cancer and helps children and their families cope with severe illnesses.
Lending a hand in my community.
As part of Northwestern Mutual, I'm proud to help accelerate the search for better childhood cancer treatments while supporting families undergoing treatment, and survivors from late effects. Here are some of the organizations we partner with:
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer (ALSF)
ALSF funds cancer research, raises awareness, and supports the families of children with cancer. Since 2012, Northwestern Mutual, its employees, and financial professionals like me have donated more than $20 million to support ALSF and fund over 400,000 research hours.
Beads of Courage
Beads of Courage is an art-in-medicine program that helps kids with cancer tell their unique treatment story through colorful beads that are symbols of their courage.

How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.
When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.
Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.
It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
