My first experience with Edward Jones, and what initially drew me to a career here, was the culture and environment that Edward Jones creates for their clients and their employees. The amount of personalized care and attention that is given to each client is unsurpassed in this industry. I have a history of wanting to serve others and help people achieve their goals. After completing my studies at the University of Michigan, I began my career working in the automotive industry as a design engineer. I quickly realized I needed a career in which I was more engaged with people and made an impact in my community. This led me to the hospitality industry where I spent the next 15 years serving my community and developing my entrepreneurial skills in restaurant management, ownership and consulting. As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I believe it's important to invest my time in understanding what you're working toward and what is most important to you before you invest your money. It's also important to understand the level of risk you are comfortable accepting when investing, so we can balance it with the steps necessary to reach your long-term goals. I believe in creating a transparent partnership with my clients in which we work together to create a plan that you are comfortable with and confident in. My branch office administrator, Blair Centers, and I strive daily to provide an ideal client experience. Because of my personal and professional experience, I try to help small business entrepreneurs as well as families trying to navigate through all of life's major milestones. In my free time, I love to spend time with my wife and two children. We love to travel and spend as much time outdoors as we can. At Edward Jones, we use an established process to help you build personalized strategies to reach your goals. Let us show you how we can make a difference for you and your loved ones. We look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your goals!
