I am especially excited about the transformation Transamerica has completed, which enables it to provide broader and more relevant services to customers.

I am honored to have served my country for almost three decades and have found that the lessons I learned in the military have transferred well to the business sector. I’ve continued my support of the armed forces as a board member for Operation Homefront, which provides a wide array of services to active duty service members, veterans and their families.

I stay balanced by exercising, reading, and spending time with my extended family.
