I grew up around Edward Jones. My dad left his teaching and coaching job to start a career as a financial advisor with Edward Jones in 1990. I learned quickly what a family-oriented firm it was and knew eventually it was what I wanted to do. I came down to Missouri from Nebraska to go to school and play golf for the University of Central Missouri (formerly CMSU). While getting my degree in finance, I fell in love with the area and a beautiful nursing student named Jennifer. The Kansas City area is now our home, and I'm blessed to be able to call Jennifer my wife and the mother of our two incredible children; Waverly and Baylor.

Growing up around Edward Jones made my career decision easy when I joined the firm in 2010. I chose to come to Edward Jones because of their values and ability to "put the client first".

Golf is still very much a passion of mine, but it has taken a back seat to my growing family and growing business. Family time has over taken golf as my favorite passion. I'm blessed to be able to control my schedule to ensure I never miss a sporting event, dance recital, band concert, etc.

My teammate and branch office administrator (BOA), Kristeena Dillon, joined me in 2019. Kristeena is incredibly passionate about helping others which makes her a great asset to our office, our clients and to her growing family! When she's not working or chasing kids, Kristeena spends her time outdoors, traveling and taking care of their growing number of farm animals.

Every day, Kristeena and I work with individuals, families and business owners on their goals and what is most important to them. We use an established process to customize an investment strategy for their goals and then partner together to help ensure we stay on track.
