The key to successful investing is to develop a strategy now that can help you reach your future goals. At Edward Jones, we work extensively in meeting the needs of individual investors by helping them map out long-term investment strategies.

I began my Edward Jones career in 2007 as a financial advisor in St. Louis, MO.

In 2010, I received my AAMS™ designation. The College for Financial Planning awards the AAMS™ designation to individuals who successfully complete a 12-module professional education program, pass a final examination, commit to its code of ethics and agree to pursue continuing education.

In 2012, I received the CFP® certification. The Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. awards CFP® certification to individuals who meet the board's requirements for professionalism in financial services. To gain certification, a financial advisor must pass the CFP® Certification Examination and the CFP Board's Fitness Standards for Candidates and Registrants, agree to abide by the CFP Board's Code of Ethics and Professional Responsibility and comply with the Financial Planning Practice Standards.

My wife, Elizabeth, and I were married in 2015. That same year, I also became a limited partner of the firm. When not working, I'm usually chasing around my 3 year old and, if I'm really lucky, I'll sneak in some fishing or golfing.
