In 1997, I joined Edward Jones as a financial advisor in Toms River, NJ. As your Edward Jones branch team, we believe it’s important to invest our time in understanding what you’re working toward before you invest your money. Working closely with you and your CPA, attorney and other professionals, I can help determine the most appropriate financial strategy for you and your family. I can also help with your retirement savings, so you have more options when you retire, regardless of what you decide to do.
I earned a bachelor’s in economics and political science from New Jersey City University. I also earned a master's in administration from Central Michigan University. I have been involved in the financial service industry for 42 years. In addition, I have earned the AAMS® and CFP® professional designations.
My wife, Barbara, and I have two children, Alison and Andrew. I have been active in business and civic affairs in Toms River, as well as a resident, for 36 years. I was also a member for Toms River Revitalization.
My senior branch office administrator, Carla Cardinali, has 20 years of experience and 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.
One-size-fits-all may be fine for some investors, but we believe investments should be tailored to your needs and not generically based on guidelines for someone your age or at your stage of life. We provide highly personalized service. All aspects of our business are aligned to help us better understand and meet our clients’ unique goals and needs.
