I graduated from Illinois State University in 1979 and started my career with Edward Jones as a financial advisor in Bloomington in 1983. I've always enjoyed helping people achieve their important financial goals. For some this might be saving for college. For others saving for retirement or providing income in retirement may be an important goal, or simplifying their financial life. My office works closely with our clients to understand their needs and can help determine a customized strategy to help reach their goals.
I believe Edward Jones stands out from other firms due to our client-centered, one-on-one approach.
Getting involved with our community is important to me. For over 35 years, I've done volunteer work with the Kiwanis Club of Bloomington. Our signature project is Camp Limberlost, which provides a week-long camp experience for about 100 local deserving children each June.
I've been married to my wife, Cathy, for over 35 years and we have two adult children (plus one spoiled dog, Daisy).
Please contact my office and see how we can help you achieve your financial goals. My branch office administrator has over 15 years of service with Edward Jones and we will be glad to help you. Thank you!
