In 2004, after the birth of my first son, I went into an Edward Jones office to open a 529 college savings account. Little did I know how profoundly that meeting would change my life. For the past 16 years, I have been blessed to grow so many new relationships with my clients.

My wife, Missy, and I have been married for 22 years and have two sons: LB (18) and Chesley (15). Our lives are filled with ball practice and games, and I wouldn't have it any other way. As a family, we enjoy hunting, fishing and traveling together.

In 1994, I was able to attend and graduate the U.S. Marine Corps Platoon Leader Class; after returning to college, I graduated from Mississippi State in 1997 with a degree in business administration.

My branch office administrator, Niki Woodard, a 22-year veteran of the firm, and I look forward to getting to know our clients on a personal level to better help them develop their own strategy to help achieve each of their long-term financial goals.
