Before you can begin working toward achieving your financial goals, you must first define what’s important to yourself and your family. 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.
I began my career with Edward Jones in the fall of 2007, just a few months before the financial crisis rocked the global economy and markets. As a new financial advisor, there were times I felt overwhelmed and questioned my new profession. Over a decade later, I can say that the lessons I learned while experiencing those difficult days have made me a better financial advisor for my clients.
The main focus of our practice is to create a personalized financial strategy for our clients to help them reach whatever goals they have. Partnering with our clients to prepare for and live in retirement is one of our main priorities, and we strive to ensure our clients have an income strategy to help give them the best retirement possible.
My Branch Office Administrator, Emily Schlimmer, has been with Edward Jones since 2008, and I cannot overstate her importance in helping our clients reach their goals. As the welcoming face in the front of the office and the voice on the other end of the phone, she provides our clients with the exceptional service they deserve.
Being involved in the community is extremely important to me. I actively serve in The Rotary Club of Cloquet, where our main focus is support for local students through our scholarship funds. I also enjoy coaching my daughters' soccer and basketball teams.
My wife, Dawn, and I live in Cloquet with our children.
In my free time, I enjoy hunting, fishing, cooking and being with my family and friends.
At Edward Jones, we use an established process to help you build personalized strategies to reach your goals. Let us show you how we can make a difference.
