I bought my first stock when I was 18. I still own that stock today. I like to use the same strategy with my clients. Identify investments that you would feel comfortable owning for a long time, only adjust when there are compelling reasons. Look at where you are today, lay out a map, take action and monitor the results.
I have been helping Edward Jones investors reach their goals since 2002. It is extremely fulfilling to work with, and get to know people, in a face to face environment. Understanding goals, fears and hopes allows me a great chance to make a difference. Edward Jones encourages my ideals, and allows me to focus on what is important to my clients.
I grew up in Otsego. After school, my job was working in my father's hardware store. My brother continues to operate that store today. I'm a proud Ferris State Bulldog. My sister married into a family who owns the local grocery store. Local engagement is a family legacy, and remains very important to me.
Every strategy and solution I offer is based on what is most important to you. My ideal clients are those who want to work together towards a long-term goal. I would like to help provide the answers to your questions, so you can make informed, financially sound decisions. Please contact me to discuss your situation and options.
