As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I want to understand what's important to you. Whether you're planning for retirement, saving for college for children, or just trying to protect the financial future of the ones you care for the most, we can work together to develop tailored strategies to help you achieve your goals. We'll also monitor your progress to help ensure you stay on track. Throughout it all, we're dedicated to providing you the best in client service and will partner together throughout your life to help achieve these goals.
I began my Edward Jones career in 2007 and opened my office in Woodstock. Since 1988, I have called this area home. As my wife, Meghan, and I get ready to welcome our third child, we look forward to watching our family grow up in Cherokee County for decades to come. Aside from our littles, we keep life interesting caring for our wonderful fur-kids as well. With a Great Dane, English Bulldog, Main Coon cat and fish, there is hardly ever a dull moment in our home.
I am a graduate of the University of Georgia and am proud to have served as an active member of the community through various local civic organizations. These include the Rotary Club of Towne Lake (past president), United Way Advisory Board, Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce and past board member of the YMCA of Cherokee County. My involvement with these past organizations has only strengthened my love for this community.
My branch office administrator, Yvonne Curtis, and I have over 29 years of combined experience and are dedicated to providing you with the highest level of service possible. Yvonne joined our team in 2016 with already eight years of experience working with a veteran Edward Jones advisor in her home state of California. Along with her husband and two kids, you'd be hard pressed to find a more dedicated baseball family and volunteers in our community.
As our practice has continued to flourish over the years, we've added Kelly Chandley as our second branch office administrator to ensure we continue to deliver the best in service. Even still, we're not alone. With thousands of people and advanced technology support, our office helps ensure you receive the most current and comprehensive guidance.
We are confident in our ability to add true value to your family's current financial strategy and look forward to hearing from you!
