Jeff Lohmeier

As kids we're asked the earth moving question "what do you want to be when you're older?" At that time 25% of the Lohmeier household was all in on Michael Jordan and the Chicago bulls. My closet was full of Jordan sneakers and walls adorned with his posters. I wanted to be in Gatorade commercials and hitting buzzer beaters in Madison Square Garden, not working as a financial advisor!

Fast forward 25 years and I find myself in a profession that is welcoming to my lack of speed, height, or anything resembling superior genetics. As a lifelong learner and inquisitive by nature, I'm genuinely grateful to have found my way to Edward Jones even though being a member of the 96' Bulls didn't work out.

My branch office administrator, Gayle King, and I partner with clients to get them organized while providing goals-based advice throughout the process of accumulating, protecting and ultimately transferring their wealth to those they care about most.

I think it's extremely important to have a finger on the pulse of the markets in order to marry clients' goals with timely ideas, strategies and advice. It's my duty to stay informed as possible with what's happening day to day in the markets.

Outside of the office I love spending time with the two most important people in my life, my kiddos Peyton and Sawyer. They're dreamers just like their old dad was at that age. My daughter Peyton wants to work for Dateline or become a veterinarian while my son Sawyer is still choosing between Spiderman or becoming a cop so in his words, "he can give dad tickets."
