Gary L Willis

As a native of Florida, I attended the University of Florida pursuing a degree in finance and business. Before, during and after college, I worked for a major, Florida-based grocery store chain for nearly 40 years, working primarily as a store manager. Eventually, I was drawn to a career here at Edward Jones by the culture and environment they create for their clients and their employees. 2021 marks my 9th year as a financial advisor with Edward Jones, and I am deeply grateful to have been able to help so many clients achieve their financial goals. I have built my practice on a strong foundation of experience, expertise and dedication to my clients, which has enabled me to deliver a comprehensive service - including financial, insurance and investment advice.

I have a fabulous senior branch office administrator, Rena Snedeker.
She is a veteran with Edward Jones with over 10 years experience. Rena is extremely passionate about providing clients with the highest level of client-focused service. Rena is also an avid dog lover and has two rescues, Willow and Ivy.

As your Edward Jones branch team, we believe it's important to invest time with you to understand what's important to you. We will use an established process to help you build your personalized strategies to achieve your long-term goals.

On a personal note, my wife, Nancy, and I reside in South Lakeland and have two beautiful daughters, DeLaney and Brooklyn. Our family would not be complete without our dogs, Lexi and Scarlett. When not spending time with my family or my Edward Jones clients, I love watching football, especially the Florida Gators and the Dallas Cowboys.
