I grew up in Peculiar, MO and enjoyed growing up in a small town in the Midwest. My Dad was a builder and instilled in me the value of hard work. My Mother was the accountant for my Father's company and always made sure our family was steadfast in our financial goals. Growing up, we spent most of our time at the Lake of the Ozarks and that is where I met my wife, Jessica. We have two wonderful children and reside in Overland Park. I received my degree in economics from Benedictine College and have been at Edward Jones ever since. I began my business in Spring Hill, KS in 2002 and now have my office in Overland Park.

Our family enjoys giving back to our community, being outdoors, boating, hiking and going to the lake. I belong to Holy Rosary Catholic Church and am an active member of the Knights of Columbus. I am passionate about helping families achieve their retirement goals. We will discuss what does retirement look like? What is important to them? For some, that might look like traveling the country; for others, it's making sure they never miss a grandchild's game. We help clients transition from daydreaming to living their dreams. Since starting my business, I have realized what my own retirement goals are. I have a picture in my office of a blue chair on the beach. My goal is to help everyone realize their "blue chair."

A one size fits all approach may be fine for some investors, but I believe investments should be tailored to your needs and not generically based on guidelines for someone else. I believe it's important to invest my time to understand what you're working towards before you invest. My senior office administrator, Rebecca, and I will work closely with other professionals so that I can help determine the most appropriate plan for your family. We will partner together throughout your life to help you navigate through your financial waters. We are passionate about what we do and look forward to helping you turn your retirement dreams into reality.
