As a client recently said to my wife and I over dinner, we aren't just clients, we're all friends. That sentiment echoes why I came to Edward Jones in 2008. I cherish the relationships I have with our clients and their families.

I feel fortunate my clients have allowed me to be a part of their lives. I've shared the joy at their wedding, anniversary or birthday, and witnessed the bright smile that comes with a hospital visit. And we share the anguish that comes with a divorce or death of a client; with a loss that feels like the loss of a family member.

We cater to clients across the country who are looking for warm, personalized service from a branch team dedicated to helping them reach your financial goals. Goals that are as important to me, as they are to them.

We choose to work with those who believe their best days are ahead of them. With a love and passion for life, and the excitement at the thought of opportunities still untapped.

And our service reaches beyond our office when we partner with your CPA or family attorney for more complex client situations.

My wife, Claudia, and I have two children, Sofia (20) and Paolo (10). The other family member not to be overlooked is the best dog anyone could have - Leo, our Goldendoodle.

We love to garden, travel, cook, bike in Forest Park, play tennis or golf, and the occasional pickleball game.

Prior to Edward Jones, I worked with Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation and News Corporation in Los Angeles and New York City before returning to St. Louis to be closer to family.

As a graduate of the University of Missouri School of Journalism, I developed an understanding that there are multiple sides to a story, with a natural curiosity and desire to build rapport, which puts our clients at ease.

My branch team consists of Laura Molner, a former teacher. Together, we share a passion helping our clients every day in all aspects of their financial lives.
