My Edward Jones story, in a way, started on the day my wife, Maxin, and I moved to Warsaw. We had been placed here by my previous employer as yet another stop in a career that required frequent relocation for advancement. Although Maxin and I grew up in Elkhart, my father-in-law grew up in Warsaw. We have family here. After our fourth relocation in 12 years, Warsaw was the closest to family we had been and started to feel like 'home'. We frequently pass the house her dad grew up in and the streets he rode his bike as a kid. Our sons have gone to Madison, Edgewood, and have created fantastic memories at Warsaw Community High School. We desired to stay in Warsaw, giving our children lifetime memories of friends and a hometown, but we knew it would require a career change. As a result, I joined Edward Jones, which gave us the ability to stay here and the opportunity to earn my Series 7 and Series 66 registrations and my insurance licenses. Edward Jones has provided me the resources and flexibility to pursue and earn the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® certification and Accredited Asset Management Specialist™ designation. I am happy to say that my business is so much more than just a job – it's a chance for me to fulfill my passion of improving the lives of families in our community.As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I believe it’s important to invest my time to understand what you’re working toward before you invest your money.
