I have always called the big city of Castle Rock, Washington my home. I attended Lower Columbia College and Washington State University, earning my bachelor's degree in business administration/finance.

I married my high school sweetheart, Addie, and we have two amazing children, Emily and Easton. They are proud to be fourth generation Castle Rock Rockets. We are very active in the sports of our community and have been volunteering for years.

I began my Edward Jones career in 2004 as a financial advisor in Longview. I earned the AAMS® designation, which I received from the College for Financial Planning. After 11 years in Longview, I was able to make a dream come true by relocating our office to my home town while continuing to serve our existing clients.

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

At Edward Jones, we're focused on you. The firm has thousands of associates and advanced technology supporting our office so that we can help you reach your long-term financial goals.

My senior branch office administrator, Pat Wright, has 20 years' experience. She and her husband live in Castle Rock and have two grown children and five grandchildren.

My second branch office administrator is Taryn Hornback. She, her husband and daughter live in Cathlamet where they enjoy the outdoors with their two dogs.

Please don't hesitate to call them with questions concerning your statements, dividends, stock certificates or your account in general.

When not working, I love being outdoors and spending time with my family, whether it's at the ballpark, hunting, traveling or working around our property.
