Community participation

Alzheimer’s touched my family personally when my grandmother passed from the disease. Through that experience, I saw the need for research and support for caregivers. I have served on the Greater Kentucky/Southern Indiana chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association for 25 years. I serve on the board of trustees for Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky, because I feel strongly about the importance of education, and I want to give back to my alma mater.

Interests

When I’m not working through financial goals and plans with clients, I enjoy being outdoors, golfing, and playing tennis.
