As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I believe it’s important to invest my time to understand what you’re working toward before you invest your money.
Working closely with you and your CPA, attorney and other professionals, I can help determine the most appropriate financial strategy for you and your family. I also help with your retirement savings strategy, so you have more options when you retire, regardless of what you decide to do. If you are already retired, I will work with you to manage your retirement accounts, implementing strategic withdrawals to meet your income needs.
I began my career as an Edward Jones financial advisor in 2010. A native of Colorado, I have lived in Athens since 2002. Since moving here, I have been active in business and civic organizations in and around the Athens area.
I attended the University of Northern Colorado and University of Colorado. I hold the Series 7 (General Securities Representative) and Series 66 (Uniform Combined State Law Examination) registrations. I am also licensed with the State of Georgia Insurance Commissioner: life, variable annuity, variable life.

Relationships are key, and in our view, meeting face to face builds strong relationships. Our office is located inside the perimeter for easy access and convenient for clients.
