Originally from Alma, I began my Edward Jones career in 1992 as a financial advisor in Traverse City, MI. Being a financial advisor for 27 years, I have been able to help our clients organize, build, protect and transfer wealth. Everyone's economic and life situation is unique, and I keep that in mind when providing financial advice.

I attended Lansing Community College and then transferred to Ferris State University, majoring in business and finance management.

I have two children, Holly and Josh. Holly is a graduate of Savannah College of Art and Design and is married with three children. My son, Josh, is a graduate of the California Institute of the Arts.

My wife, Marya, and I have been married for 14 years. We love biking, spending time on the water and with our grandkids, Judah, Maverick and Stella.

Active in the community, I am a member of Kiwanis Club of Traverse City and the chamber of commerce, and involved with the Alzheimer's Association. I have also been involved in the Wounded Warriors Project, Toys for Tots, Michael's Place and Third Level Street Outreach Program.

My branch office administrator, Neva Bruce, is dedicated to providing you with the highest level of service possible. Please don’t hesitate to call on her with questions concerning your statement, dividends, stock certificates or your account in general.
