Growing up on a family farm with a seed business, I learned the value of hard work and treating people right. I have been elected to serve as a state representative and school board member along with time spent helping groups like Jaycees, Rotary, my church and schools.

As a financial advisor at Edward Jones since 2007, I invest my time finding out not only what is important to you but also why you feel that way. Then we use an established process to build personalized strategies for your unique situation to help you achieve your goals. We will partner with you throughout your lifetime to help ensure you stay on track, even if unexpected events get in the way.

Bev and I have six grown children and six grandchildren that we enjoy spending time with. Any free time after that usually finds me outside fishing, golfing, camping or volunteering.

Our clients are further served by two wonderful ladies, Janie Pickman and Janelle Weishaar, both of whom strive to go the extra mile. Janie is a senior branch office administrator and thrives on customer service and volunteerism. She delivers Meals on Wheels weekly, serves as Chair of the Atchison St. Pat's Parade and is very active in her church and community. She and Tim celebrated 40 years together in 2020 and spend their spare time enjoying three children and five grandchildren.

Janelle joined our team as a branch office administrator in 2019. With 17 years in the banking industry, she knows how to deeply serve our friends and family. Janelle has been a 26-year member of Zonta Club, served on the board of Theatre Atchison and served on various other civic and Church committees. She and Les have celebrated 20 years of marriage and enjoy their large family, boating or golfing together.

What makes our jobs gratifying is to watch our clients' children graduate college, attend weddings, retirement parties or see the pictures of their trips or family events and feel like we have played a small part in achieving their goals.
