I began my career with Edward Jones Investments as a financial advisor in 2006, following a successful career in the corporate world as vice president of Corvel Corporation. I became a limited partner of Edward Jones in 2009.

As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I believe it is important to understand what you as a client are working towards for your future, before you begin to invest your money. It's significant to me to understand the level of risk you're comfortable accepting when investing so we can balance it with the steps necessary to reach your long-term goals. Relationships are key and, in my view, meeting face to face helps me build a strong personal relationship with you.

Whether you're planning for retirement, saving for college or just trying to protect the financial future of your loved ones, we can work together to develop specific strategies to help you achieve your financial goals. Working together, we will monitor your progress to help make sure you stay on track and make adjustments when needed to help achieve your goals.

My branch team, Debbie Mladenka and Julie Lile, excel in their ability to deliver on client needs and provide you with the highest level of service possible. In addition to the excellent client service you receive from my branch office staff, the firm has thousands of people and advanced technology within our St. Louis home office supporting us. Additionally, we welcome the opportunity to work with your attorney, accountant and other trusted professionals to deliver an in-depth strategy that leverages everyone's expertise.

Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. In my spare time, I also enjoy saltwater fishing, hunting and traveling. I am heavily supported by my wonderful wife of 37 years, my three children and their spouses, and my beautiful granddaughters.
