Who I Am

I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in graphic design/commercial art from East Tennessee State University and began working in insurance, starting my career with American General Life and Accident.

My wife Holly is an animal and nature painter. We have two grown children, Rachel and Matthew, and are excited to finally be empty nesters! We live in Jonesborough, Tenn., and are active ETSU alumni, boosters and season ticket holders for all men’s and women’s sports. When we aren’t at games, you can find us camping.

Why I Joined Homesteaders

It was a natural progression for me to enter the funeral space when I joined Homesteaders in 1999. In 2022, I earned the Central Region Account Executive of the Year Award. I find joy and comfort in working with the senior market.

What I Do

Cultivating relationships with customers excites and motivates me more than anything. I am a people person at my core. I feel I am able to put people at ease with their decisions to make preneed a viable part of their business offering to their communities. I listen, I ask questions and together – using our combined knowledge, creativity and resources – we create solutions to help you reach your goals. That is my commitment to you!
