My career as an Edward Jones Financial Advisor began as my previous 10-year career of professional baseball was coming to an end. I gave it my all and loved every second of my experiences and the places I got to see in trying to get to the Big Leagues but 10 years in, with an ailing left arm, let me know it was time to take a different path. A veteran Financial Advisor in Shawnee, KS took the time to let me know about Edward Jones. I had looked at a lot of different areas and companies on what I would do next, but really enjoyed the Edward Jones culture and strong training program.

I had been interested in the finance industry since I was 10 years old. That year for my birthday, my Dad bought me five shares of Boston Celtics stock. I then had not only the sports page of the Kansas City Star to read, but also the business page.

My branch team partner, Paget Lund, has been with Edward Jones for nearly 20 years. Together we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional service to our clients, no matter what stage of life they are in. We have retirees taking distributions as well as young folks just starting out with a Roth IRA or 529 education savings plan for their kids. Whatever stage of life you are in, we always say that when you call our office, you'll reach me or her and sometimes both.

My wife, Jennie, and I have two young daughters. Alexis and Charlotte are the joy of our lives and like many of our clients, we are doing our best to contribute to a 529 education plan for them as well as fund our own retirement accounts. I would never suggest anything to a client that I wouldn't recommend for family members.

Paget and I would love to hear from you and hope that we can help you like we've helped so many others achieve their long-term financial goals.
