Who I Am

I grew up on a dairy farm in Darlington, Wis., and have lived in Iowa since moving here when I was 12. I began my career at Homesteaders as a customer service representative, and I became part of the home office account executive team in 2019. My professional experience includes many years in the insurance business during which I have developed my knowledge and skills to help customers succeed.

I’m part of a large family that includes four brothers, nine nieces and nephews and six great nieces and nephews, as well as my son Tate. In addition to spending time with family, I enjoy fishing, board games and card games. I love shooting pool and have even been able to play in Las Vegas for teams, doubles and individual competitions.

Why I Joined Homesteaders

One of my friends referred me to Homesteaders, and I was impressed by the history of the company and how happy its employees are. Homesteaders is a caring environment; it feels like we are family.

What I Do

I have a vast knowledge of insurance and have been working in the insurance world since 2005. I leverage my upbeat attitude and experience in customer service to help funeral home customers achieve success. My compassion and empathy allow me to work alongside funeral professionals to develop business plans to help you meet your goals. I enjoy building relationships and helping build the preneed programs agents and funeral homes would like.
