As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I believe it is important to invest my time understanding what is important to you, and what you are working towards, before you invest your money. At Edward Jones, we use an established process to help you build personalized strategies to help you reach your long-term goals. People's livelihoods are in my hands, and I take that seriously. I am inspired every day by the people I work with — especially clients like you who care enough to work toward your future dreams. It's important for me to understand the level of risk you're comfortable accepting when investing, so we can balance it with the steps necessary to get you on the path to success.As a 28-year veteran in financial services, joining Edward Jones was a natural next step. The culture and environment the firm has created for their clients and associates is unsurpassed in the industry. The amount of personalized care and attention given to each person who walks through the door makes me proud to have my name on the door.Having worked for both insurance companies and brokerage firms throughout the country, I know that Edward Jones has given me the tools and support necessary to impact the financial life of my clients in a positive way. I wake up each day with the intention of providing an ideal client experience for each person I encounter, both in the office and throughout the community I serve. When not creating portfolios to help make a client's financial dreams a reality, I can be found in Sturbridge, where I live with my wife, Denise. We have three children, Sean, Lauren and Steven, who we love to spend time with on the slopes of Vermont skiing or on the golf courses of Central Massachusetts. We also enjoy scuba diving, camping and hiking. I hold a Master of Business Administration from Nichols College in Dudley, Massachusetts.Let me help your future dreams become a reality.
