About Me
I was born in St. Louis, Missouri, and raised in Plano, Texas. A lot of my friends call me “Scooter”. My wife Britney and I have 3 wonderful children (Madison, Molly, and Lowery). I am an alumnus of EKU- Eastern Kentucky University and have a B.S. in Loss Prevention and Security and an M.S. in Asset Protection and Security.
I have been a football official for 18 years, officiating Division I College Football for the past 13. I have had the privilege to work several bowl games and playoff games. It has been such a wonderful and fun experience, but my favorite teams are the ones my kids are playing on. If I’m not at one of my kids’ games, you’ll find me cheering for the Referees!
My family is important to me and I have always taken the time to volunteer at all the schools my children have attended. I have been the volunteer coach for multiple sports and seasons. I enjoy working with the kids and watching them build mental toughness and a competitive spirit some of them did not know they had. Britney and I are very active in our local community and are honored to do so.
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.
