I was born in Payson, Utah. Being heavily involved in my family's businesses, I developed an understanding of hard work, integrity and self-reliance. I gained a unique perspective on the needs and challenges of small business owners. That perspective, combined with my desire to help others, was motivation to look at the financial industry as a career path.

I started with Edward Jones in 2007 at their corporate offices in St. Louis where I also attended the College of Financial Planning. I assumed responsibility for the South Jordan branch in November of 2008 amidst the Great Recession. Though that presented significant difficulties, I was determined to help my clients recover and move forward.

I find it especially rewarding to work with small business owners. I understand how they think and what keeps them up at night. My understanding allows me to help them maximize their business, work with their CPA to help minimize tax liability and support their success.

I work with those who have lost a spouse or are in the throes of divorce. I have established a process to help them with their complex needs, while supporting them when they are most vulnerable.

Many of my clients are people born in the '50s and '60s. They are savers, not spenders. They may not think they are affluent, but they recognize the need for help. They value meeting on a regular basis and tracking their progress toward their goals.

My goal is to always grow both professionally and personally.

My wife and I have four children. We all enjoy traveling and participating in outdoor activities.
