My desire to help others and my community is what brought me to Edward Jones. As a financial advisor and CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional, I believe it’s important to invest my time to understand what you’re working toward before you invest your money. Working closely with you and your CPA, attorney and other professionals, I can help determine the most appropriate financial strategy for you and your family. I can also help with your retirement savings strategy, tax strategy as well as estate considerations, so you have more options, regardless of what you decide to do.I am a native of the South Alabama area, having grown up in Ozark, AL, and graduating from Carrol High School. I went on to pursue an education at Auburn University, where I earned a master's degree in business administration with a finance concentration and a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering. I enjoyed a 20-plus year career in sales to distributors of building products. I began to realize that I could use my extensive knowledge in sales and my education in finance to help more people in my community as a financial advisor.I enjoy spending time with my wife, Meredith, and our son, Hamp. We enjoy traveling, spending time outdoors and fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. I am an active member of the community serving in several capacities through these organizations: the local branch of the Salvation Army, the Dothan Tuesday Rotary Club, the Wiregrass United Way and the Dothan Area Chamber of Commerce. Giving back to the Wiregrass and connecting with my community is both important and rewarding for me.One-size-fits-all may be fine for some investors, but I believe investments should be tailored to your needs and not generically based on guidelines for someone your age or at your stage of life. Whether your goals include preparing for or living in retirement, paying for education, planning for the unexpected or creating an estate or inheritance, I can offer investment solutions tailored to all your financial goals. Contact me today, so we can discuss the options that best fit your needs.
