After graduating from the University of Georgia, I set out with one thing in mind – "I want to help people."My journey in this field began with an interest in how people could start making smaller choices now to greatly impact their future later. That desire to help people and my love for finance and investing is what led me to begin my career at Edward Jones. It is the collision of the two passions that made me feel right at home as a financial advisor.Alongside my financial advising training and experience, I have a background in communication, strategic planning and operations, which gives me a well-rounded outlook and approach. I am here to partner with you no matter where you find yourself in the world of finances and am committed to providing the resources needed to get you where you want to be. I am passionate about working with those who may be new to personal finance and retirement planning, as everyone must start somewhere.I have a relational approach, and my greatest value as a financial advisor is building trust with my clients. Together, we will create personalized short-term and long-term goals for you and your family. We all know that life brings with it ups and downs, and you shouldn't have to navigate it alone. My hope is to get to know you – your family, your dreams and your goals – so that your financial strategy fits just right.When I'm not serving my clients, I enjoy both watching and playing sports, being active outdoors and spending time working on house projects with my wife here in Smyrna.Stephen Youngstephen.young@edwardjones.com(404) 255-1295
