We all have a purpose in our lives, and understanding why we do something is just as important as understanding what it is that we want to do. As a financial advisor with Edward Jones, the process begins with understanding what you want to have happen and what's important to you. From there, we build personalized strategies so that your financial life is set up to best support those goals. What's behind that is a firm focused solely on supporting you with the resources and specialization needed to address your situation. Growing up in the Midwest to two working parents, I learned the importance of community, integrity and hard work. After studying economics at The University of Iowa, I began my career in 2006. I enjoy the ability to be a life-long learner that this profession provides, but being able to use that experience and knowledge to help others do more is what motivates me most. What you can expect:- Process - You shouldn't wonder if there is something you are missing. Having processes helps us to be confident that we are considering the options that are in your best interests and covering all aspects of your needs. It is the discipline we follow.- Education - It is important to me that you understand what I advise and why. This is transparent and straightforward.- Communication - You will hear from me and our branch team in the method and frequency that you prefer. Know that it will be regular and consistent.- Commitment - I am thankful to continue working with clients over many years and through many changes in their lives. That is my hope with all of my clients, and we work hard to always be earning our relationships.Away from the office, I live in Prosper with my wife, Amber, our three children, Emma, Owen and Elle, and two dogs. I enjoy being involved in our church and serving the organizations that we support in the local community. When I have a free minute, I also love to play golf, travel and mountain bike.I continue to look to partner with individuals and families that value personal, professional advice and are committed to their long-term financial success.
