Who I Am

My career in the funeral profession began as a teenager when I began working at a funeral home in my hometown. I earned a bachelor’s degree from Ball State University and a master’s degree from Xavier University. After college, I started in a preneed cemetery sales position before transitioning into preneed funeral insurance two years later. I have lived in Los Angeles, Calif., since 1992, and I am both a licensed funeral director and a licensed life insurance agent in California. In my free time, I show American Quarter Horses.

Why I Joined Homesteaders

I am proud to be part of a company that offers the best preneed funeral program in the profession. Homesteaders’ strong commitment to serving both funeral home customers and consumers shine through in its outstanding reputation.

What I Do

As someone who has worked in preneed since 1987, I have valuable experience and knowledge to offer funeral homes of all sizes, not only to set up their preneed programs but to help grow them. My background and training in the funeral profession allow me to understand what my customers need to be successful, and I work hard to support each of them and earn their business.
