One-size-fits-all may be fine for some investors, but I believe investments should be tailored to your needs and not generically based on guidelines for someone your age or at your stage of life. Whatever your goals include preparing for or living in retirement, paying for education or creating an inheritance or estate, we can offer investment solutions tailored to all of your financial goals.

I began my career at Edward Jones in 2000. In a few short years, I received the AAMS® professional designation. I have served in several leadership positions within Edward Jones and am currently a client solutions leader.

I have been awarded the Spirit of Caring Award by my peers for my willingness to give back and help within my region.

I was born and raised in Springfield and attained a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Illinois, Springfield. I live with my wife, Sandy, and we have two boys and two girls. Sandy is currently employed at Memorial Hospital as a CRNA. Three of my children have graduated from college and my youngest is a sophomore in college.

I have been and continue to be active in my parish community, serving on several committees and school boards. I was awarded the Children's Award 2012 for my service to the children of St Agnes. I have also been active in the YMCA as a coach for several spots for several years.

My branch team consists of myself and my branch office administrator, Marybeth Jenkins. Marybeth is a lifelong resident of central Illinois where she lives with her husband, Scott. They are parents of two boys.

Our team extends beyond Marybeth and myself, as our strategists, investment policy committee and product review teams are dedicated to develop the research and advice we rely on.

We are here to help you achieve your financial goals. I invite you to experience the Edward Jones difference: It all begins with a conversation, so give us a call or stop by to get started.
