As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I believe it's important to invest my time in understanding what's important to you. By having a working partnership, I can continue to help determine the most appropriate financial strategy for you and your family. I am on your team to help establish an overall estate strategy so you can live as you choose when you retire and to leave a legacy that you desire.

In 2015, I joined Edward Jones as a financial advisor, opening the firm's first branch office in Bloomfield. I have been an Edward Jones client for over 25 years.

I am a 1975 graduate of Muscatine Community College with an AAS degree in agribusiness. I earned a BS in animal science and chemistry from Northeast Missouri State University in 1977.

My spouse, Sonia, and I have been married for 45 years, and have three children and five grandchildren. I have lived and worked in the area for all but eight years and owned and operated three family businesses. I have been active as a member of 10 boards in the community, as well as coaching Little League girls and boys teams. I have served as a member of the school board, chamber, Optimists, Rotary, Masonic lodge and church, and as a Boy Scout Master.

Relationships are key, in my view, meeting face to face builds strong relationships. I will help anyone that walks through my door.
