At Edward Jones, our goal is to be the first choice of the serious, long-term investor. We do that by understanding what’s important to you, using our established process to build personalized strategies and partnering with you throughout your life to help you stay on track.I see myself as an educator first. My goal is to make sure my clients understand what we’re doing, and why it is in their interest.Before I joined Edward Jones in 2019, I was a broadcast meteorologist. My job then was to explain complicated, highly technical subjects in a simple way. That's still true today in my role as a financial advisor – but instead of predicting the future, I'm helping clients prepare for it with high quality investments and a thoughtful strategy.Beyond my duty to clients at Edward Jones, I am the proud father of two children, Maren and Bergen – and when I'm not fishing or cooking with them, my hobbies include travel, woodworking and aviation. I am an instrument-rated pilot, and our family enjoys exploring Michigan from the air. I am active with the Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce and Economic Club of Grand Rapids, and I serve on the board of the parent-teacher organization at Maren's school.
