What an honor and privilege it is serve, assist and help educate the most impactful contributors to our society, our seniors. My desire is to assist our 65 and over community members with navigating and understanding the Medicare options that best fits their needs and unique situations. I was blessed to have grown up in the rural community of Trenton, Missouri and graduated from Trenton High School in 1990. I furthered my education at Missouri Valley College and received my bachelor’s degree in education in 1995. Later, in 2002, I received my Master of Education Administration from William Wood’s University. After graduating from Missouri Valley College, I married my wife of 28 years, Nicole, who also grew up in the Trenton area and was my high school sweetheart. We are both career educators where I have served as a middle/high school teacher, coach and administrator and Nicole has been a classroom and title reading teacher. I served my final thirteen years in education as an Assistant Executive Director with the Missouri State High School Activities Association and retired in August-2023, while Nicole continues to teach Title Reading at Disney Elementary in Marceline. Nicole and I have lived in Marceline, for sixteen years and are the proud parents of two daughters, Madison and Kenzie.
