I am passionate about my clients and love what I do!In 2009, I began my Edward Jones career after spending time in corporate America, running my own business and working as an educator. As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I believe it’s important to invest my time understanding what's important to you before you invest your money.During our initial visit, I will ask several questions and it is important that I listen to the answers and clarify them so that I can truly understand your needs and subsequent goals. I then get to know your risk tolerances and experience levels to truly understand the best strategies to meet your needs. Working closely with you and your CPA, attorney and other professionals, I can help you determine the most appropriate strategies for you and your family to reach your financial goals.I graduated high school from Geibel Catholic High School in Pennsylvania. I received my undergraduate bachelor's degree from Edinboro University. I hold my Life Accident and Health Insurance Agent License, FINRA 7 and 66 registrations, as well as the AAMS™ designation.My wife, Kim, and I have four children: Amber, Ashley, Cienna and Andrew. I enjoy participating in any sport, but I'm passionate about fishing, golfing, skiing and bowling. I volunteer as a member of the North Port Lions Club, and volunteer for the Junior Achievement program for schools.
