As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I am committed to providing you with education, insight and guidance to help you have the financial freedom to live the life you dream about.

Having worked in the financial services industry for over 12 years prior to joining Edward Jones, I enjoy sharing my experience, knowledge and passion for investing with my clients. Once I learn what is important to you, I use an established process where we create a strategy together. I then meet with you on a consistent basis to help keep you on track in meeting your financial goals.

My journey in finance began during my junior year of college when I worked as an intern on a trading desk for a global investment bank. During this time, I developed an enthusiasm for researching stocks. I managed to save $1,000 by the end of the summer, so I picked a blue-chip stock that I wanted to buy. My father told me that we could open a brokerage account together. He went ahead and purchased $1,000 worth of the stock I had chosen, and I was to reimburse him.

Instead, I used the $1,000 to buy a guitar, the same guitar one of my idols used to play and whirl around on stage. Throughout the years, I have learned to play maybe nine chords and one scale. Fortunately, my father held onto this investment, and that $1,000 grew and eventually went toward his retirement. That experience impressed upon me the power of compounding and investing for the long term. The good news is that since college, my interest in investing and personal finance has grown much more than my ability to play the guitar.

Today I am grateful to work as a financial advisor for Edward Jones where I have the opportunity to be of service to others. I invite you to contact me if you feel that my experience and approach would benefit you in helping to achieve your financial goals.
