My wife, Lori, and I have four children and five grandchildren. Two of our sons, Chad and Seth, are also financial advisors for Edward Jones. I enjoy hunting, fishing and watching football, especially when my children and grandchildren are participating.

I retired in 2019 from 35 years of military service as a Lieutenant Colonel, after serving in the U.S. Marine Corps, Oklahoma Army National Guard and U.S. Army Reserves. I also worked 15 years for the Oklahoma Department of Human Services.

I have a bachelor's degree from Southwestern Oklahoma State University and a master's degree from Oklahoma Christian University.

I joined Edward Jones as a financial advisor in 1998. My primary goal is to understand the unique financial needs of individual investors in order to develop an investment strategy geared toward achieving their long-term goals. Jan Walker, my senior branch office administrator since 2004, assists me in providing you with the highest level of service possible.

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 businesses and lives. We have built our business by treating our clients as we would want to be treated, a simple idea that still makes sense in today's complex marketplace.
