As an Edward Jones financial advisor, every strategy and solution I offer is based on what's most important to you. Working together with your CPA, attorney and other professionals, our first investment together is to understand your priorities so that we can identify specific financial goals and strategies to help you thrive in retirement. Born and raised in Alexandria and Virginia Beach, VA to a military family, my passion for investing began at an early age. As a child, I would call my dad's real estate office daily after school and ask him the interest rate for the day. I began my career with Edward Jones in 2015. As a third generation Army veteran, life has taken me to Afghanistan, Djibouti, Africa and around the US while serving in the 82d Airborne Division (1996-2000). Prior to Edward Jones, I worked in the intelligence community as a service member (2009-15) and contractor with Northrop Grumman. The Hamilton Family has been active in our church since relocating to Virginia in 2011 with my wife of ten years, Ileana, daughter, Katrina and four new Virginians, Natalie, Seamus, Matthew and John. Since moving to Waynesboro in 2017, I have been active with the local Rotary Club and YMCA, coaching a 5-8-year-old basketball team and also chauffeuring the kids to ballet, karate and scouts. My branch office administrator, Christina Brown, joined Edward Jones in 2019. Please don't hesitate to call her about any administrative questions concerning your accounts. We work as a team to best serve you and look forward to serving our clients and community.Christina and I would like to help provide answers to your questions so you can make informed, financially-sound decisions.
