I joined Edward Jones in 2007. My goal as a financial advisor is to first understand my clients financial goals and then provide tailored solutions to meet each goal. My clients say I am hardworking, trustworthy, highly educated and provide a strong value proposition toward reaching their individual goals.

Originally from Kewanee, IL, I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in economics from Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, IL. I have also earned the AAMS® professional designation from the College for Financial Planning.

I have worked on boards in the surrounding communities and currently hold a board position with The Schauer Center in Hartford. I am big advocate of the Medical Foundation here in Hartford and support their cause to the community.

In addition to being a financial advisor with Edward Jones, I have also acted as a field trainer for new advisors coming into the firm and as a recruitment leader for our region of 58 financial advisors. I have had the privilege of receiving the Ted Jones Spirit of Caring award, an honor awarded to only 120 advisors and named after our founder Ted Jones. Currently, there are over 17,000 financial advisors with Edward Jones.

My wife, Denise, and I enjoy spending time with family and friends. Travel, being outdoors and cooking are few of our favorite things to do.

My branch office administrator, Lindy Flitsch, has over seven years of industry experience. She and her family live in Hartford. Lindy and I enjoy getting to know our clients on a personal level as that is what relationships are built on. One of our primary goals as a branch team is to service our clients to the highest level. Please call us with questions you might have as you start to plan your financial goals.
