2020 marks my 23rd year as a financial advisor with Edward Jones. I feel so grateful and fortunate to have been able to help so many clients achieve their financial goals during that time.

I have always enjoyed helping people. So, it's a passion on mine to make a difference in people's lives. There was a time in my life that I wanted to be a fireman and was a paid on-call fireman because I've always respected what they do. Working at Edward Jones has provided that platform for me. Helping people with retirement planning, wealth transfer and living in retirement are my specialties.

In order to better serve my clients, I have obtained the Accredited Asset Management Specialist™ professional designation*. In addition to the AAMS® designation, I also hold my Series 7, Series 66 registrations in addition to Insurance, Life and Health licenses. I attended Eastern Illinois College. Prior to working at Edward Jones, I was an analyst at Northrop Grumman.

I take my time getting to know each one of my clients and their needs before I make any recommendations. Every client's situation is unique, and I want to know what its most important to them so we can have a plan and stay on track.

On a personal note, my wife, Maureen, and I live in the community. I enjoy various sports, working out and doing things with our three kids. I also volunteer with a "Sharing Hands" group in the community.

If you are looking for a financial advisor or would like a second opinion, I would gladly welcome the opportunity to meet with you. Please call my office today. I hope I can also make a difference for you and your loved ones.

* The College for Financial Planning awards the AAMS® designation to individuals who successfully complete a 12-module professional education program, pass a final examination, commit to its code of ethics and agree to pursue continuing education.
