He is a proud father of two amazing children, Jaxon and Vayla, and is blessed to be building a life with his soon-to-be wife, who shares his passion for serving Veterans as a Loan Officer with Veterans United Home Loans. Family is the foundation of everything he does.

Together, they enjoy sports, traveling, the outdoors, St. Louis Cardinals baseball, and cheering on the Missouri Tigers. But more than anything, they value the time they spend together and the memories they create along the way.

His story began in the small town of Boonville, Missouri. Growing up, baseball and football taught him some of life’s most important lessons: work ethic, resilience, teamwork, humility, and the importance of never giving up. Those lessons stayed with him throughout his life and ultimately led him to Truman State University, where he had the honor of playing college football.

After college, he dedicated 17 years to serving with the Social Security Administration. That chapter of his career gave him a deep appreciation for public service and introduced him to countless Veterans and families who had sacrificed so much for our country.

One of the most meaningful aspects of his work was helping Veterans who were 100% Permanent and Total obtain the benefits they had earned. What began as part of his job became much more—it became a passion for serving those who had served our nation.

That passion for service continues today.

He is honored to help Veterans, their spouses, and their families achieve the dream of homeownership. He believes every Veteran has a story, a sacrifice, and a journey that deserves to be recognized and honored. Having the opportunity to play even a small role in helping a Veteran find a place to call home is something he never takes for granted.

His commitment to service also extends into his community. He coaches youth soccer and football, including his own children, because he understands firsthand the impact a great coach can have on a young person’s life. He was fortunate to have coaches who believed in him, challenged him, and helped shape the person he became. Today, he is grateful for the opportunity to pay that forward and help shape the next generation.

Whether he is coaching on the field, spending time with his family, or helping a Veteran and their family purchase a home, he tries to live by one simple principle:

Leave people better than he found them.

He is incredibly grateful for the path that brought him here. From a small-town kid in Boonville, to a college football player, to 17 years of public service, and now to helping Veterans and families achieve their homeownership dreams, every chapter has served a purpose.

He believes the best chapters are still ahead.
