Following in my dad's footsteps, I started my Edward Jones career in 2003. I moved back home to Seward, NE in 2004 to become the third financial advisor in Seward.
We are energized by truly understanding what is important to our clients. We use an established process to help our clients achieve financial goals, and know we are capable in partnering with clients to meet regularly to help them keep on track.
Together with Branch Office Administrator, Danielle Shipley, we are here to help keep you on track for your most important financial goals. In addition to the team in my office, we are supported by our Edward Jones home office and we partner with your tax and legal professionals to provide advise specific to your needs.
I love to volunteer and have served in many capacities within Edward Jones, including serving as a coach in the Ted Jones Coaching Program and numerous regional roles. Outside of Edward Jones, I have volunteered with many civic groups including Rotary, Kiwanis and TeamMates.
I attended the University of Nebraska, Lincoln and graduated with a bachelor's degree in finance. My wife, Julie, and I were married in 2010. We have two children, Sadie and Jack. We love watching our children grow and spending time with them playing games, baking and traveling.
