I had very positive yet polarizing influences in my childhood. My mother was the president of the Saint Louis Women's Artist Guild, and my father was a financial advisor with Edward Jones for over 30 years. Being raised with these strong and often contrarian viewpoints has been one of the greatest advantages in my personal and professional development. The ability to look at complex and calculated scenarios through the eye of a creative lens is an asset when designing strategies to help our clients achieve their goals.The systematic, repeatable process we use allows our branch team to work closely with every client on what's important to them. From retirement strategies to education funding and anything in between, having a process and sticking to it not only keeps us accountable to what's important, but allows us to track our progress along the way. The best part is that we get to celebrate those successes together as we achieve our clients' goals over time.With over 13 years' experience working with clients at Edward Jones and another dozen years in various roles across the financial services industry, I bring the tools and experience needed to help our clients with some of the most important decisions of their lives.My client support team members, Sue Besse and Mary Jo Sullivan-Gallagher, have over 50 years in combined experience at Edward Jones. They're a critical part of our operations but also the professional and personal experience our clients have become accustomed to and also very much deserve.My wife, Morgan, and I have a 15-year-old son, Jackson, and have been married for over 19 years. We love spending time together as a family, always looking for our next adventure.
