I grew up down the street from a dairy farm in the small town of Sparta, WI, the Bicycling Capital of America! I spent a decade in the field of quality and food science working with beer and cheese before coming to Edward Jones. I first became passionate about this profession shortly after meeting my wife, Caitlin, whose father was a 30-year veteran financial advisor with Edward Jones. The impact the profession has on individuals and businesses throughout the community was a true testament to the partnership formed with those we serve.Here at Edward Jones, we pride ourselves on providing investment strategies based on your goals, understanding what's most important to you and partnering with you throughout your life to help keep you on track. Using our established 5-step Process, our approach focuses on strategies that are personalized for you, responsive to change and monitored often.Throughout my tenure, I've expanded my knowledge base by achieving the Accredited Asset Management Specialist™ designation through the College for Financial Planning® and the Certified Exit Planning Advisor® designation from the Exit Planning Institute™. These additional designations have helped us fine-tune our practice to serve individuals and business owners alike.Residing in Sun Prairie, I treasure spending time with my wife, our sons, Everett and Leo, and our Golden Retriever, Bunker. The outdoors, music, travel, food and sports are some favorite pastimes of ours that we love to enjoy with family and friends. I am an active member of the Rotary Club of Sun Prairie, the Alzheimer's Association and the Sun Prairie Chamber of Commerce. I feel it is a necessity to give back and support those in the community.We look forward to the opportunity to serve you in the future.
