As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I believe it's important to invest my time to understand what you're working toward before you invest your money. Working closely with you and your CPA, attorney and other professionals, I can help determine the most appropriate financial strategy for you and your family. I can also help with your retirement savings strategy so you have more options when you retire, regardless of what you decide to do.

My primary goal is to help individual investors develop an investment strategy geared toward their unique, long-term goals. We have built our business by treating our clients as we would want to be treated, a simple idea that still makes sense in today's complex marketplace.

I began my Edward Jones career in 2008 as a financial advisor in Battle Creek. I hold an AAMS® certification. As a 1980 graduate of Olivet College, I hold a bachelor's degree in business administration.

My wife, Mary, and I have five grown children, 11 grandchildren and one great-grandchild. I grew up in Homer and have resided in the Calhoun County area most of my life.

I am an active member of the community, serving as a board member for the Rotary Club and the Kiwanis Club. I am also a member of the United Way finance committee.

I have received numerous awards from Edward Jones, including the Partners Award, Regional Leaders Award, Pacesetter Award, A.F. McKenzie Award and the Boost Award.

I would like to help provide the answers to your questions so you can make informed, financially sound decisions. Please contact me to discuss your situation and options.
