In 2006, I was lucky enough to join the Edward Jones team. Although I had always found myself managing finances in my previous careers, my scope of influence was limited to my employer and perhaps a few inquisitive friends. When I came to Edward Jones, I was finally able to provide professional financial advice to a diverse array of families and individuals.

My interest in investing started at a young age. I remember being in elementary school and my mother telling me, "Over your lifetime, your investments will earn more money than you will." I have since come to understand that her statement was a simplification... Which makes sense, I was a young child. I am now aware that there are many factors each individual will experience through their lifetime that can impact the accuracy of my mom's statement. I am very thankful that her passing comment piqued my lifelong interest in how finances work and how we can better manage our financial future.

As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I believe it’s important to communicate well and share with absolute clarity about what it is you want to achieve. I find partnering with you and your tax preparer, attorney and other professionals to be tremendously rewarding. The collaboration guides the process for us to determine the financial strategy best suited for you and your family.

My wife and I are residents of Seattle's Maple Leaf community along with our son (age 11), daughter (age 15) and energetic Labradoodle. We enjoy indoor activities of music and movies; and outdoor activities of hiking, biking, soccer and Frisbee. I also enjoy riding my motorcycle when time and weather allow!

Thank you for taking a few minutes to learn about me; should we have the opportunity to chat, I look forward to learning about you.
