It's my belief that most people journey through life wanting to make a difference somewhere, somehow. For me, I don't remember exactly when that mindset began but I certainly remember experiencing the fulfillment when someone first told me that, as a financial advisor, I had made a difference.

Since I began with Edward Jones in 2006, it has been my singular focus to partner with individuals and families from across our community in an effort to tackle what can turn out to be one of life's greatest challenges - building, maintaining and then transferring wealth. As I see it, my role is much more than someone who simply recommends investments. I have the privilege of being a mentor and coach as well as a trusted friend and confidant.

It's because of that privilege that my senior branch office administrator, Lisa Pair, and I strive continuously to understand what's important to you, design and implement strategies tailored to your unique situation and then communicate regularly to help keep you on track. We pride ourselves on delivering the highest levels of service that you'd expect.

In addition to my role with Edward Jones, I have the privilege of being a husband to Ashley for more than 20 years and also the privilege of being a father to two daughters and two sons. I also have been fortunate enough to serve our community through Habitat for Humanity, Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club, Make-A-Wish Foundation and several other organizations.

I look forward to having a conversation to discuss how we will work to make a difference for you.
