As a limited partner at Edward Jones and a seasoned financial advisor with more than 28 years of experience in helping investors reach their goals, I serve as a partner and mentor to my clients. My focus is guiding them through life events and investment decisions, so they have confidence in their future.I enjoy working with individual investors and business owners who want to carefully and thoughtfully work toward a range of financial goals such as preparing for and living in retirement, estate considerations, sending children to college and business continuation planning. No two people are the same and neither are their goals. I help customize strategies that are unique to each individual.Serving my community is also important to me. I am a current member of the Skyline Kiwanis Club of Longmont, a service club that focuses on serving the local community through gifting programs and scholarships. I am a member of the local car club, ColoRODans, and currently serve as the Rod Festival Chairman. Within the firm, I volunteer as a field trainer and mentor to financial advisors starting their careers, and as head coach for the Ted Jones Coaching Program.Because of my love for business and people, I made a career change in 1996 from agriculture farm inputs to become a financial advisor. I have a BS degree in agricultural business/economics. In continuing my education as a financial advisor, I have obtained the ChFC® and CEPA® designations, and the CFP® certification.I am the father of two children and am married to a wonderful woman who chose to be a mother and homemaker as her vocation. I enjoy traveling with my family, both in and outside the country, wrenching on my projects and spending time outdoors.I welcome the opportunity to learn about you and your financial priorities. It all starts with a conversation – let's visit.
