I became a financial advisor with Edward Jones because of my great interactions with other Edward Jones financial advisors during my tenure as president and CEO of the Norfolk Area Chamber of Commerce. I saw how each of them gave of their time and resources without hesitation. Each of them were always there to give back and handled themselves with great professionalism. I wanted to be a part of an organization that promoted giving back. During my career with the Norfolk Area Chamber of Commerce, I partnered with business owners to grow commerce and promote members. I understood the struggles and the joys building something of value through hard work. Seeing the success of the businesses and their employees inspired me to want to help people on more of a personal level. I now devote my time to helping clients.I build relationships focused on understanding what is important to you, using an established process to build a strategy to help keep you on track and creating a partnership to serve your goals throughout your lifetime.My team includes branch office administrator Amy Grof. She supports our clients and prospective clients throughout our established process by providing the support they need to feel informed, organized and understood.My wife, Deb, and I have five children; Jessica, Taylor, Whitney, Mason and Lexi. I am a member of the Norfolk Noon Kiwanis.Outside of my role with Edward Jones, I enjoy traveling and spending time with my wife. I support several small businesses and non-profits in my community. I am proud to call this community and state my home.
