One of Edward Jones' greatest attributes is the sense of community. I was raised in a rural environment where my parents taught me the value of work and doing what is right, and my neighbors looked out for my well-being. This sense of community and relationship is what makes me proud to be a financial advisor at Edward Jones. Our culture is designed to help people find what is most important to them and then assist them on the journey to get there. This means helping them prepare for and live through retirement, plan for education expenses, evaluate life insurance and long-term care insurance options, and coordinate several financial goals at once.In my time outside of the office, I enjoy playing instruments, especially guitar, and riding dirt bikes. My wife, Kayla, and I have two beautiful, energetic children who love to go! We all love to be outside and enjoy nature. I also serve as the music minister at church, and I serve as a board member for the NC Chapter of Wildlife Action.As a financial advisor, I find great joy in building relationships with clients and assisting them in strategizing how to achieve their goals. I am there through life's milestones and events, and I help them navigate through the fluctuations in the financial markets. When those changes in their lives occur, I enjoy working together with them to make adjustments to the strategy we created.My branch is committed to providing exceptional client service and making sure that our clients always feel heard, connected and a top priority.
