I joined the North Carolina Army National Guard in 2010 and and earned a commission as an Engineer Officer in August of 2012. I currently hold the rank of Major.It's a pleasure to be able to serve our great country and the great state of North Carolina. Additionally, I have had the opportunity to deploy, serving in Afghanistan, Qatar and Kuwait. Joining the North Carolina Army National Guard was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

In March of 2017, MetLife spun off its annuities and life insurance business into a brand new company called Brighthouse Financial. As an internal wholesaler, I provided key insights about Brighthouse Financial's annuity product offerings to Registered Representatives from across the country. Additionally, I worked with advisors through their ticket submission process helping them to experience a seamless transition from the time they entered a ticket, until the time their client's policy had issued. In a metrics driven, fast paced work environment. I consistently exceeded monthly metric expectations in my time on the annuity sales desk.

As an internal wholesaler, I worked with an external partner covering the northeastern states of PA, NJ, DE and MD. We provided sales ideas, support and guidance to advisors in the field, helping them determine how MetLife's annuity offerings could fit their business practice. Our territory was a rebuild and we worked to grow the business. After 6 months, we had our first $1mm month. In 18 months, we were doing $3-$4mm a month. Around that time, MetLife Insurance Company USA began the spin off of the company to Brighthouse Financial.

As a registered representative with MetLife, I provided sales and service support to financial advisors throughout the United States. I shared sale concepts for MetLife's suite of annuity products, ran illustrations and helped clients with website access issues. Additionally, I helped facilitate resolution to service related issues, helping advisors serve their clients in a timely manner.This was a fast paced, metrics driven environment in which I excelled. I was ultimately promoted into a internal wholesaler role within 3 months of taking active phone calls.

I had the privilege of serving youth and adult volunteers as a District Executive. As a District Executive, I served as the leading representative for the BSA in Cabarrus County, NC and partnered with and further cultivated a volunteer force of over 800 different volunteers to accomplish various operations on an annual basis. I was responsible for planning and executing an annual donor campaign to raise necessary funding for the local council's annual budget. Annually, with the help of an all volunteer force, we raised over $260k to support youth in the scouting program.Additionally, program was a huge part of my day to day. I was responsible for and ultimately organized and oversaw numerous scouting activities from camping outings to adult and youth leader training seminars, to pinewood derby events.Finally, cultivating key relationships in the community was a huge part of what I did. I had the pleasure of working side by side with the mayor, local bank and business leaders and cultivated an all volunteer board to help accomplish the mission of Scouting in our community.
