As a child, I was always fascinated with the financial industry. Since coming to Edward Jones, I have come to see what a positive impact we can have on people's financial lives. Children have been able to attend college without being burdened by student loans when they graduate. Families have enjoyed a comfortable lifestyle because of wise investments. Couples have retired, sometimes early and gone on to live out their dreams. And that is what this business is about, working with people to help them achieve their financial goals.I have been fortunate enough to work with people in all stages of life, from someone just starting out and wanting to develop a strategy for their future, to someone worrying they could outlive their retirement savings. Being a financial advisor is much more than picking the right stock. It is about developing a relationship, finding out what is most important and working together throughout the stages of life. I feel very privileged to work in this profession and honored by the trust my clients have placed in me. A career at Edward Jones runs in the family, as my wife, Pamela, also works at Edward Jones. In our spare time, we enjoy traveling, hiking, golfing and spending time outdoors with our dogs in this beautiful part of the world. Whether you are just starting out, raising a family, preparing for or living in retirement or creating your estate, we would love to have the opportunity to meet with you and see how we can help.I work alongside the branch office administrator, Laurie, to provide the highest level of client service and a cohesive client experience. Please give us a call to schedule a time for us to meet.
