As a financial advisor, I believe it’s critical to understand what’s important to you before investing your money. Defining your goals based on what your priorities are helps to develop a destination. We will work together to choose the best plan to get there and adjust to changes along the way.I grew up North of Topeka in the small town of Seneca, Kansas. After earning a Bachelor of Science in agricultural economics from Kansas State University in 2003, I moved to Topeka to start my first career in a management position with Frito Lay.I joined Edward Jones as a financial advisor in 2013 after leaving my professional management position with Frito Lay. I have been successful at applying my real-world corporate experience and small-town values to build a thriving business. My wife, Liz, and I were married in 2004. We are raising three children, Lainey, Eli and Owen. As a family, we enjoy getting outdoors with them and going fishing, hiking and playing various sports. My branch team includes Cathy Brake.
