I joined Edward Jones as a financial advisor in November 1999, opening the firm's first branch office in Kaplan.

As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I believe it is important to invest my time to understand your goals and what is important to you. By 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 can also help with your retirement savings strategy, so you have more options when you retire, regardless of what you decide to do.

I attended McNeese State University and graduated in 1993 with an MBA. In addition, I received the AAMS™ designation in 2004 and the CFP® certification in 2012.

My wife, Kim, and I have been married for 31 years. We have two daughters, Kori and Claire, one granddaughter, Addison, and one grandson, Jackson. My family and I have lived in Abbeville since 1997.

I have been active in business and civic affairs in Kaplan for many years and support various organizations in the community.

My branch office administrators, Olivia Champagne and Mia Abshire, have over 24 years of combined experience and are dedicated to providing you with the highest level of service possible. Please do not hesitate to call them with questions concerning your statement, dividends, stock certificates or your account in general.

Relationships are key, and in our view, meeting face to face builds strong relationships. We meet when it is convenient for our clients because we recognize the challenging needs of their businesses and their lives.
