About Duke
I was born and raised in Des Moines, Iowa and graduated from Dowling Catholic High School. For the last 65 years, I’ve had the privilege of calling Des Moines home. My wife and I were blessed with four children, all of whom also attended or currently attend school at Dowling. We are members of St. Francis Parish in Des Moines. My weekends are spent with family, and we all love to stay active, whether it be going to the gym together or playing golf when the weather permits. The opportunity to give back to our local Catholic communities is very exciting and I look forward to sharing my own personal knowledge of the financial benefits available to both current and prospective members of Catholic United Financial.
