I joined Edward Jones in 2008 at the beginning of the Great Recession. That experience has influenced my investment philosophy: the best-laid strategies need continual attention to help ensure that you and your family achieve financial security.

Born just outside Boston, I also lived in the Columbia River Gorge of Washington before settling in Northern Nevada over 30 years ago. I'm proud to support our community as a member of the Professional Advisors Council for the Community Foundation of Western Nevada. I'm a board member of Feeding Pets of the Homeless, participate in Walk to End Alzheimer's every year and became a limited partner in Edward Jones in 2017.

My first experience with investing was after the birth of my son, Cody. I bought him a couple shares of stock in a children's entertainment company. That, along with mowing neighbors' lawns, helped him buy his first car.
