Does that include putting your children through college, making sure you've saved enough for retirement, leaving something for your heirs or something else? I can help you prioritize your needs and define your goals.My Branch Office Administrator, Jennifer, and I are excited to guide you toward your goals. We are dedicated to providing you with the highest level of service possible; we are focused on you. Edward Jones has thousands of people and advanced technology supporting our office so that we can help you reach your long-term financial goals.Growing up in Amboy, IL, I learned the value of hard work. After high school, I attended and received my bachelor's degree from Illinois State University. I bought my first mutual fund when I was in 5th grade and my first stock when I was 18 and have seen the ups and downs of the market. These experiences have led me to help my clients as well as the communities in which I live and work.On a personal note, I reside in Dixon with my son, Beckham. I am active in the community, striving to improve the economic and social growth where our clients live and work. I am on the Dixon Fire Department's Pension Board and have served on the YMCA, United Way of Lee County and Lee County Department of Health Boards. I have coached my son's soccer and basketball teams.I would like to help provide the answers to your questions so you can make informed, financially sound decisions.
