As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I believe that it's important to understand who the investor is. It's only after I fully understand what your goals and interests are that I can truly partner with you in developing your financial future. Using our established process, we provide strategies to help effectively and efficiently grow your wealth, protect your wealth and distribute your wealth.I am a fourth-generation Iowan, born and raised in Northwest Iowa. I graduated from Algona High School before going on to graduate from the University of South Dakota. I worked for State Farm insurance for seven years prior to joining Edward Jones. My experience in the insurance industry combined with the products and knowledge of Edward Jones and my education as a CFP® professional allow me to offer sophisticated solutions to help meet your individual needs. I focus on advanced planning for those that care about generational wealth.My wife, Hanna, and I have four children: Kaden, Zander, Lydia and Everett. Hanna definitely has the more difficult job of the two of us, staying at home raising our children. We enjoy a lot of different things – watching movies, playing board games and also doing anything outside (camping, hunting, gardening, baseball, soccer, bike-riding, etc.).If you've never worked with a financial advisor before or if you're just wondering what you might be missing, give me a call.
