While growing up in a small town near Alvin, TX, I had no idea that I would end up being a financial advisor. It wasn't until I was in college that I discovered my fascination with economics and the financial market. It was there that I also met my beautiful wife, Dianna, whom I would later marry and have two children with: Cole and Avery. After college, it was a given, after researching various investment companies, that I would work at Edward Jones.

This company most closely matched my values, work ethic and desire to help people traverse the sometime rocky road of investing. "Doing what's right and in the best interest of the client." isn't just a statement, but a way of life. I've been able to help people plan for college, retirement, wealth and estate considerations; each strategy personalized and appropriate for the individual or company.

Beginning my career with Edward Jones in 1999 has taken me through multiple "Bull/Bear" cycles. Learning what's most important to clients is step one before they invest their money. Then, we partner together to reach those goals. I strive to provide my clients with clear explanations of the investments I recommend, timely updates on market conditions and volatility and a transparent explanation of costs. I want my clients to understand why I make each recommendation.

My Sr Branch Office Administrator, Terrie Hembree, has been in my office since 2006 and with Edward Jones since 2004. Her skills and knowledge, due to her years of experience at Edward Jones, means that I can rely on her to help clients with cash management, online access, documents and many other client needs, with the exception of investment advice and recommendations. Terrie has patiently assisted many clients with a variety of complicated processes, most notably, assisting with the transfer of assets after the loss of a loved one. She has an essential role in how we strive to provide an ideal client experience helping clients reach their goals.
