For me it starts with family. My family has been in Grays Harbor County since my grandmother and grandfather immigrated to this country during the Great Depression. Our family has deep roots in fishing and finance, and that tradition continues today.

My wife, Nicole, and I have been married 23 years and we have a son, Spencer, who is an sophomore at Elma High School.

I have been a financial advisor with Edward Jones for the past 21 years. To better serve our growing community, I brought on a business partner, financial advisor Dustin Hammond. Along with Bernadette Bower and Gina O'Neil, we work with clients and their families here locally and across the United States. The success of our office in Elma has allowed us to continue to grow and better serve the communities of Elma, McCleary and beyond.

Our office has been very involved in our community. I have been a school board member for Satsop, director of our local Chamber of Commerce, a basketball coach and a proud supporter of the Grays Harbor County Fair and the FFA.

We focus on planning for retirement, wealth strategies and helping create an estate or legacy. We value personal relationships based on a deep understanding of your unique financial needs, and we use a solutions-based approach tailored to your individual goals and provide exceptional service. Working closely with you and your CPA, attorney and other professionals, I can help determine the most appropriate financial strategy for you and your family.
