My interest in investing and personal finance began when I was looking for ways, as a small business owner, to prepare for my own retirement and minimize my taxable consequence each year. From there, I found Edward Jones and my passion for helping people achieve their dreams and my experience with business and personal finance found a match. I grew up in a military family and served in the Air Force myself. I spent time in the Northwest and knew that, when I was able to, I would find my home here again. My wife and I got married in 2016 and decided that the Newberg Dundee area would be our home. We have a daughter, Audrey, and one more on the way. My branch office administrator, Josh Duder, and I have built our business on getting to know what is most important to you. We then use our established process to build personalized strategies to help you achieve those goals. And of course, we then partner with you throughout your life to ensure you stay on track to meet those goals. Outside of the office, you will find me spending time outdoors with my family or riding my motorcycle. In the community, I am a member of the Chamber of Commerce and a Newberg Noon Rotary Board member.
