As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I understand that your financial needs can be complex. I am experienced and dedicated when it comes to working closely with you and your family to build a specialized strategy that will get you where you want to be. I use an established process with each of my clients to develop their strategies, keeping in mind what is most important to them. But my work doesn't stop there – I partner with my clients for the long term to help keep them on track. I work with individuals, families, businesses and business owners to meet all of their needs, from 401(k)s and IRAs to education savings and life insurance.I grew up in the Mound/Orono area and currently live there with my wife and three children. Before Edward Jones, I was a police officer in Shakopee, MN. I grew up in a faith-based home that taught me to serve others. I enjoyed serving people in many different ways as a police officer. In 2017, I suffered an injury to my back at work, which led to a career change. I wanted a career where I could continue to serve people while doing something I was passionate about, which brought me to Edward Jones. At Edward Jones, I can pair my passion for investing with my passion for building relationships and making a difference in people's lives.I attended Winona State University for my bachelor's degree and St. Thomas University where I received my master's degree. When not at work, I can almost always be found with my family. We enjoy skiing (or snowboarding), hiking, camping, volunteering and being out on the lake!I would love the opportunity to invest my time in finding out what is important to you and how I can help you meet your goals and dreams.
