I grew up in small central Idaho community, surrounded by five beautiful national forests. I was the third child of eight children and my father owned a small town GM dealership. In this setting, I quickly developed a strong work ethic and knew that if I wanted something, it was up to me to go get it! I've had the privilege of serving clients with Edward Jones for the past 23 years. This has allowed me to build meaningful relationships with clients, spanning multiple generations, as we work together to meet their goals. I feel fortunate to have the opportunity each day to make a positive difference for my clients, community, friends and family. My branch team includes Dorothy Nichalson and Mary Razo. Together, we have developed a 5-step process to ensure that we are providing the highest level of service to our clients, their CPAs, attorneys and the friends and family they refer to our branch. When meeting with clients, we never start with recommendations. Instead, we discuss and focus in on what's important to you, what your goals are and then develop a personalized strategy to help you reach those goals. You can plan on reviewing those goals with us at least annually to ensure everything is still on track and to make any adjustments needed due to economic and personal changes. Our clients become friends as we respectfully care for their needs. Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Danese, our five daughters, four son-in-laws and two grandsons. From time to time, I can also be found on float fishing trips on nearby rivers, or jetting off with family for an adventure in a far off destination.
