The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the next best time is today.I became an Edward Jones client when I was a young child in the late 1980s. When I received money from Grandma and Grandpa for my birthday and Christmas, the rule was that half of my gift must be put into my Edward Jones account. Although this was not a fun rule as a teenager, it instilled a valuable lesson in me—money works hardest when you give it time to be invested.Our primary desire is to help you, the serious investor, develop investment strategies that work toward your long-term goals.

I moved to Spokane in 2012 after honorably serving in the United States Marine Corps for four years. I graduated from Eastern Washington University with a Bachelor's in accounting, and a minor in management information systems. While working as a full-time accountant specializing in rural healthcare accounting services, I completed my Master's in Business Administration from Western Governors University. I'm married to my beautiful wife, Amy, and together we have a wonderful son named Brodie.
