I am a Centralia native. I have had a Centralia address all my life with the exception of two years that I lived in Carbondale, IL while finishing my bachelor's degree in Accounting at SIUC.
I worked in the banking industry for five years prior to starting my career in life insurance and financial planning. I embarked in this business in May of 1980.
I have two grown sons and nine grandchildren. My wife of 26 years has a daughter who is an attorney.
In my leisure time I enjoy tennis and boating on Lake Centralia where we live. I have been blessed to have engaged in several short term mission trips in various parts of the world. My wife and I enjoy traveling and chasing grandchildren.
I very much enjoy helping my clients with their financial needs. My friends became my clients and my clients have become my friends.
