With over 30 years of experience working in the financial services industry, my goal as a financial advisor is to provide tailored solutions that meet my clients' investment strategies. One of the first things you should know about me is that I hold myself to a high level of dependability and a high degree of integrity and respect for my clients.

I am originally from Streator, IL, and graduated from Augustana College in Rock Island, IL, with a bachelor's degree in finance. I opened my first Edward Jones office in New Haven, IN, where I lived and worked for five years before assuming responsibility for the office in Naperville.

My wife, Johnell, and I reside in Naperville with our three children: Jacklyn, Jessica and Jay.

During my Edward Jones career, I have served on task forces for new financial advisor support, mentoring and training. I served as a regional leader in the Chicagoland area for 15 years, and was named a principal with the firm in 2000. In 2012, I accepted the position of senior regional leader for the Central division, coaching and mentoring new regional leaders. In 2018, I accepted a position as field-based advanced branch training leader, serving the top levels of financial advisors and regional leaders in Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin. Beginning in 2023, I have taken on a new role as a division activation field-based general partner.

I have attended 28 consecutive Managing Partner's Conferences, an honor reserved for the top 350 of the firm's financial advisors. I have also participated annually in the Circle of Success since its origination. This meeting is reserved for the top 25 financial advisors at Edward Jones.

My Registered Branch Associate, Mollie Cremens, and my Branch Office Administrators, Lindsey Lyons and April Clary, have over 13 years of combined Edward Jones experience. We enjoy getting to know our clients on a personal level. Our branch team is dedicated to providing you with the highest level of service possible. Please don't hesitate to call on us with any questions or concerns you may have.
