    Let's start with an introduction to some of our local leadership:

    Meet Managing Partner: John Chafin

    Been with the organization for 3 1/2 years.

    John was previously working in the coal industry.

    Outside of work John enjoys spending time with his family, being involved in church, working out, listening to podcast/finding ways to be better in his career and in life, and he loves being outdoors.

    Meet District Agent: Michael Pennington

    Been with the organization for 1 year and 8 months.

    Prior was a lab technician at ARH.

    Outside of work Michael loves spending time with his wife and 3 year old. He cherishes attending and preaching at local area churches and giving back to and participating in community events.

    Meet Regional Director, Jeremy Slone: Married for over a decade with four kids and a fifth on the way, Jeremy humorously admits that his wife works harder than he does! After spending 15 years at AT&T and feeling stuck, he took a leap of faith by attending an interview that turned out to be a pivotal decision, marking the beginning of a fulfilling career. Grateful for the opportunities provided by Modern Woodmen, Jeremy now serves as the Regional Director for West Virginia.

    Beyond work, he enjoys coaching basketball, hunting, fishing, and cherishing moments with his family. Jeremy is passionate about his role as a leader, aiming to develop 18 leaders in the next four years, empowering representatives to lead better lives and transform their life dynamics.
