As an Edward Jones financial advisor who was born in Colombia, South America, I have a passion to help families of all diversities and nationalities achieve their long-term financial goals. I am a proud immigrant who loves America. I have been blessed to be married to my wonderful wife, Kimberly, for 23 years, and we have two amazing, smart and athletic sons. I spent eight years operating a Dot Com business, and 14 years helping families and small businesses finance residential and commercial properties. With such a wonderful diverse country we live in, I work with both English and Spanish speaking clients. In 2019 I decided to combine my internet business experience and finance knowledge to become a financial advisor. I bring extensive knowledge and awareness to clients in the areas of investments, mutual funds, insurance, annuities, employer-sponsored retirement plans and educational savings for families and business owners. I can meet with new clients face-to-face or virtually. I want to understand what is important to my clients by listening to them, offering professional personalized attention and providing the resources to help them achieve their long term financial goals.With a multitude of professionals at the Edward Jones home office, and advanced technology support, our offices are well managed so we can help ensure our clients receive the most current and comprehensive guidance. I welcome the opportunity to work with my clients' attorneys, accountants and other trusted professionals to deliver an all-inclusive strategy that leverages everyone's expertise to help our clients achieve their long-term financial goals and partner with them for life to help them stay on track.
