I am proud of being a financial advisor with Edward Jones for over 25 years. I have been very fortunate to practice my passion of helping my clients plan and work towards achieving their financial goals. I start my process by understanding what's most important to you. Before putting any strategy in place, it is critical to have a joint understanding of your risk tolerance and time frame.

Prior to joining Edward Jones in 1994, I managed a graphic arts department for a large defense company. My focus then was to provide clear communication of complicated topics. That experience trained me to specialize in the art of explaining complex topics in simple terms.

My career at Edward Jones has allowed me to continually educate myself about a very fluid investment world, as well as develop as a leader. In addition to working with my clients, I served as a regional leader for over 13 of those 27 years. My responsibility in that role was to develop our presence as a firm in the East Valley.

My wife, Laurie, and I grew up in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago. We met in high school; our first date was an Elton John concert. We have three children, Anthony, Brian and Gina. Our family relocated to Arizona in 1994 to start my career with Edward Jones.

I am extremely fortunate to be part of an outstanding team. Patty Peden has been with Edward Jones for over 30 years. Patty is a senior branch office administrator. Together, our team has over 57 years of experience. We are dedicated to providing you with the highest level of personalized service.
