I need help rooting my Verizon Galaxy S5 if anyone can walk me through it.

My device is the Verizon Galaxy S5 which equates to SM-G900V
The android version is 5.0
Security patch 2015-11-01
kernel version is 3.4.0

I attempted to roll back from 5.0 to 4.4.4 with odin but it continues to fail. All I want to do is root the phone to make a few apps system apps. it seems Verizon has made this a pain so far.
