While serving in the US Army Reserve, I attended West Virginia State College, graduating in 1997. I wasn't exactly sure where life would take me, but I was sure I wanted to do something of my own… To hang out my shingle, as it were. Meanwhile, my wife, Lillian, was dreaming of sunshine and palm trees. We moved to Titusville, Florida, and in 2006, I accepted the position of financial advisor in the town's first Edward Jones branch office. Edward Jones gave me the opportunity to be in business for myself, but not by myself.

Working with our clients to prepare for retirement, then watching them live their best life in retirement has been the most rewarding part of being an Edward Jones financial advisor. I value the relationships we've built with our clients over the years. We pride ourselves on delivering uncommonly exceptional customer service. In fact, Edward Jones has recognized our branch multiple times for providing client service excellence. We just try to treat folks the way we'd like to be treated. Embracing the Edward Jones spirit of partnership, I also enjoy volunteering to help hire and train new financial advisors in our area.

My time outside the office is spent with family and community activities. Our two daughters attend St. Teresa Catholic School, and keep us busy with dance, karate and regular visits to Disney. I've been active with the Titusville Chamber of Commerce, the Titusville Downtown Merchants Association and Indian River #90 Masonic Lodge, and I am a past president of the Titusville Rotary Club.
