I graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point, after growing up in Florissant and went to Hazelwood Central High School. While growing up, I earned my Eagle Scout and attended Boys State. After being commissioned as an officer in the Army, I was stationed in Germany and was deployed to Saudi Arabia, so I am a Desert Storm Veteran. That qualified me to be in the VFW, so I am VFW Post 8828 Member in Troy, MO. Having my business in Troy allowed me to be a Troy Chamber of Commerce Member and a Troy Kiwanis Member, which I was a Past LT-Governor and Kiwanis Missouri & Arkansas District Risk Manager. I service Auto Insurance in Troy and Lincoln County, Home Insurance in Troy and Lincoln County, and Life Insurance in Troy and Lincoln County.
