Financial markets can be complex and often confusing. Changes in tax laws, economic cycles and global events may leave you wondering what to do and how to do it. Among these challenges, we can easily become distracted by the details of developing and maintaining an appropriate investment strategy, rather than staying focused on what we are trying to achieve. Whether you are a seasoned investor or find yourself with more questions than answers, I can assist. My focus is on my clients’ financial well-being and helping them achieve the outcomes that are most important to them. I listen carefully to understand what my clients value most and work to help keep their strategies on track through life’s ups and downs. You can draw on my experience as a financial advisor and consultant to work with your tax and legal professionals to help you build a strategy to reach your goals.I have been working in this capacity with Edward Jones since 2008. I hold a degree in human services and cross-cultural development from Montreat College, the AAMS™ professional designation, General Securities Representatives (Series 7), Uniform Securities Agent State Law Examination (Series 63), and Life and Health Insurance licenses. The College for Financial Planning awards the AAMS™ designation to individuals who successfully complete a 12-module professional education program, pass a final examination, commit to its code of ethics, and agree to complete continuing education.My wife, Christine, and I married in 2001.
