John R Nelson

As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I believe it’s important to invest my time to understand what you’re working toward before you invest your money. I look forward to providing the ideal client experience by listening closely to my clients and working with them to help them achieve their goals. I am inspired by the thought that I can play a role in such an important aspect of my clients' lives, whether it is saving for education, planning for retirement, living in retirement, or leaving a legacy for future generations.

I joined Edward Jones as a financial advisor in 2017, having been a client for years. I am honored to serve the Roanoke area, continuing the legacy that Jim Warner started when he opened the Roanoke office in 2001.

I am a graduate of Purdue University in West Lafayette and Huntington North High School, having grown up in Huntington County.

My wife, Rachel, and I have three children (Tyler, Hannah and Jack). I am an active member of the Roanoke and Huntington County communities, serving on a number of boards and as a committed volunteer for a variety of organizations.

My senior branch office administrator, Kelly, has been with Edward Jones since 2002 providing you with the highest level of service possible. Please don't hesitate to call her with questions concerning your statement, dividends, stock certificates or your account in general. She also supports the community by being heavily involved in the annual "Rolling Into Roanoke" car show and in other volunteer capacities throughout the year.

At Edward Jones, we still meet face-to-face with our clients. This close connection builds strong relationships and trust. We meet when it’s convenient for our clients because we recognize the challenging needs of their business and their lives.
