At Edward Jones, we focus on serving the financial needs of individual investors of all ages and financial means. We have built our business by treating our clients as we would want to be treated - with honesty, reliability and sincerity. My primary goal is to help individual investors develop an investment strategy geared toward their unique, long-term goals. Whether you need to save for a child's college education, save for your own special dream, plan for retirement or leave a legacy, I can help.

I joined Edward Jones as a financial advisor in 2006, opening the firm's first and (so far) only branch office in Madisonville in 2007. I became a limited partner with the firm in 2015, and my business has grown so that I have invited another financial advisor to join me in my office to help better serve clients.

I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in industrial engineering from The University of Tennessee, Knoxville and spent 20 years in a variety of technical roles in manufacturing, including engineering and quality engineering management. In addition, I received the AAMS® professional designation from the College for Financial Planning in 2010.

I was born and raised in Athens, TN. I have been married to my wife, Ginger, for 37 years. I have two adult children, Abby and Phillip, and am now a grandpa to Micah, who was born in July 2019.

At Edward Jones, we provide the investments, services and tools our clients need to work toward their financial goals. Relationships are key, and in my view meeting face to face builds strong relationships, but we are equipped to communicate and meet with you in a variety of ways. Branch office administrators Kassidi Freeman, Terri Wall and Sandy Hickey, my branch team, are my partners in providing the excellent service we strive to achieve.

I would like to help provide the answers to your questions so you can make informed, financially sound decisions. Please contact me to discuss your situation and options.
