It was when I was baling hay for a neighbor as a teenager that I became interested in investing. The farmer I was working for recommended that I take my earnings from the job into the local Edward Jones financial advisor to invest. This interest in investing led me to become a financial advisor with Edward Jones, which has been a great career where I help other investors reach their own financial goals.

My wife, Tonya, and I live in Quincy, IL where we have raised our four children. In the professional world, I enjoy coaching my clients to successfully achieve their goals. In my personal life, I enjoy being involved with all the events that our kids participate in, as well as going to our farm.

As a financial advisor, I believe it's important to invest my time to understand what you're working toward before you invest your money. I take pride in making sure that my clients are planning for a bright future, while being prepared for potential bumps in the road along the way.
