I am a life-long Texan born and raised in Deport, Texas. I graduated from Prairiland High School and then the University of North Texas with a degree in business administration in 1989. My spouse, Angie, and I reside in Paris, TX, and have five adult children and four grandchildren. We enjoy spending quality time with friends and family, golf, traveling and participating in community and church activities.The thing I love most about being an Edward Jones financial advisor is the relationships that I build. I get the privilege of serving a broad spectrum of clients from different backgrounds in both Texas and Oklahoma. The key is understanding what is most important to them, and then building a personalized plan around those priorities. Helping someone develop a strategy to achieve their financial goals is a very personal blessing, and I cherish it.
