I served over 20 years in the United States Air Force as a senior financial analyst. Upon my retirement from active-duty military service, my family and I returned to our roots here in Western Kentucky where we were both born and raised. After our return, my wife's healthy father passed away in his sleep at only 63. Overwhelmed, my mother-in-law had her plate full to say the least; however, having a financial advisor allowed her to focus on more important tasks while he was able to reassure her, financially, she was in good hands. Seeing how critical the role a financial advisor had during this difficult time, I saw another opportunity to continue serving. Eight months later, I joined the Edward Jones family as a financial advisor.As a financial advisor, my primary focus is centered around what is important to you. You have worked hard to earn every dollar you have and now it is time for those dollars to work hard for you.
