As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I believe it's important to invest my time in understanding what you value and what you're working towards before you invest your money.

Growing up in a large family (third of nine children), I learned about practicing economy and the value of each dollar. I grew to have an affinity for the commonsense advice of Benjamin Franklin, especially his maxims under the pen name of Poor Richard. I work hard to provide commonsense advice in turn as I seek to help make sense of investing and each person's broader financial picture.

When it comes to making a decision about who your family should partner with over the long term, I recommend working with a financial advisor that is up front about costs, proactive about contacting you and continuously seeking up-to-date knowledge and research. Earning and maintaining a Certified Financial Planner™ (CFP®)* certification, in addition to required licenses and continued education, is part of how I demonstrate my commitment to these ideals.

Cheyenne and I look forward to working closely with you, your CPA, attorney and other professionals to help determine the most appropriate financial strategies for you and your family.
