Upon reaching a crossroads in my professional career as a wildlife biologist for a timber company, I enthusiastically chose new employment at Edward Jones. Why? That's simple: I now have the opportunity to continue to help people as I had previously... And there aren't many people who can say they've had two "Dream Jobs" in life!

After earning a M.S. in wildlife management, I was able to build one of the largest deer management associations in the southeastern United States. I developed deep relationships with families that loved spending time outdoors. I was also able to educate thousands of individuals on proper management and instill the virtue of long-term thinking when it comes to managing something of importance. The entire process of partnering together, building friendships and working together to achieve a common goal was and is so important to me. "Dream Job" number one.

"Dream Job" number two: I have always been fascinated with economics and investing. I began investing in my early teens and have striven to educate myself and others ever since then. This culminated with me quickly earning all my required licenses when offered a position as a financial advisor with Edward Jones.

Currently, I enjoy working with and educating individuals that prioritize the importance of responsible money management. The long-term decisions made today, no matter how small they may seem, can provide amazing benefits in your future. I genuinely welcome an opportunity to learn more about you and how we can partner together. Please drop by any time.

On a personal note, my wife, Jill, has been employed with El Dorado schools for over two decades. We have been happily married since 1997 and have a daughter and a son. Regarding my hobbies, I am involved in a wide variety of activities like teaching Bible classes, hunting, fishing, playing basketball or ping pong, watching soccer and working on our personal property.
