Prior to Edward Jones, I worked for a national marketing firm as a consultant to hundreds of business owners throughout eastern Tennessee, southwest Virginia and western North Carolina. I enjoyed watching those businesses thrive and their owners prosper. In the same way, I knew I'd enjoy helping individuals and families just like mine achieve their own financial goals, whatever they may be. That led me to Edward Jones. I was raised in Piney Flats, TN, where my family and I still reside today. I earned a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from East Tennessee State University in 2002.My career with Edward Jones began in Johnson City, TN, in the Spring of 2017, and I moved to my office here in Elizabethton in April 2019. My wife, Jenn, and I were married in 2009. We have two children, Addison and Noah. We are very involved in our home church, Calvary Church in Johnson City. Jenn is a local eye doctor here in Elizabethton, Addison is a very active middle school girl who stays busy in taekwondo and basketball, and Noah is a handsome, yet very medically-fragile little boy who requires around-the-clock nursing care in our home due to an extremely rare genetic condition. He captures the heart of everyone who meets him. So with him, I know firsthand how life can deal you cards that you never in a million years expected or anticipated.
