As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I am passionate about understanding your dreams and what you’re working toward before you invest your money. I see myself as not only a financial advisor, but a teacher. Before becoming a financial advisor, I taught for three years in Skagit County before moving to Japan where I taught English for 12 years.

It's very important to me that my clients become educated on investing and how to have a successful retirement and financial strategy in place. My prior experience working as a financial representative for an insurance company helps me to integrate life insurance planning into my clients' retirement strategies, when appropriate. For those who are interested, I enjoy and have experience helping people choose socially-responsible investments. My fluency in Japanese and familiarity with Spanish can also be a help to clients who have those special language needs.

The Bellingham community is very important to me. I am serving on the board for the Whatcom Maritime Association and am very active with various organizations around the harbor where our office is located. I'm also a member of the Bellingham Sister Cities Association, where I am able to stay connected with the ex-pat and international community in Bellingham. I volunteer teaching relaxation and meditation at Unity Spiritual Center on Telegraph Road and at the Center for Spiritual Living on Yew Street Road once a week. My wife, Junko, and I enjoy gardening and hiking around our beautiful Northwest Mountains during the summer months and cooking ethnic foods year-round.

Our Edward Jones team, including myself and Branch Office Administrator Colleen Hendrickson, make it a priority to deliver highly personalized service to our clients. We aim to ensure all aspects of our practice are aligned to help us understand what matters most to our clients so we can help them achieve their unique goals.

The next time you're visiting the Loft Restaurant or the Marine Life Center/Touch Tank, come stop by our office as we're only a short 30-second stroll away! A brighter financial future can start with just a simple conversation, so let's talk.
