Professional Profile
Les joined the team at Croft in February 2019 to assist Sue with the Medicare Market. He was born in Lynchburg and has lived in the area all his life, obtaining a Bachelor’s Degree from Liberty University. His résumé before joining the team at Croft includes over twenty-five years in customer service management. He is very glad to put that experience to work for his clients. He completed the training to serve as a Registered Social Security Analyst in May 2024.
In addition to his work at Croft, Les serves as the Worship Leader at his church and is involved in several other ministries there. He enjoys singing, reading the classics and biographies, theatre (as a spectator), cooking various European cuisines, photography, Lego, and adding to his Christmas collections. He likes to travel and frequently makes his way to Williamsburg, Washington, D.C. (the Mall and the National Gallery of Art are his usual destinations), the Outer Banks, and historic sites in the area, like Poplar Forest and Monticello. Above all these, he enjoys a quiet evening with a few friends, or even just one (especially sharing a German or Indian meal), sharing life stories, reading aloud, or singing–more often than not with a pot of tea and something tasty from the kitchen.
