I became an Edward Jones financial advisor in 2011 after a history in agriculture. From 1983 to 2011, I farmed rice, soybeans, wheat, crawfish and sweet potatoes. Farming taught me a hard-working work ethic that I am grateful for to this day, but I have a passion to serve others and my community. My brother, who was also my financial advisor, helped me realize I could fulfill my passion by working at Edward Jones. It's been one of the best decisions I ever made.

As a financial advisor, I want to understand what's important to you. Does that include putting your children through college, making sure you've saved enough for retirement, leaving something for your heirs or something else? I can help you prioritize your needs, define your goals and build personalized strategies to help you reach your goals.

I'm excited to serve in Abbeville because I have roots in this area. My dad's family is from Pecan Island. I have been involved with the Vermilion Parish Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary Club of Abbeville. I served the firm as a Ted Jones Coach, volunteering to help financial advisors reach their potential of deeply serving their clients.

I was born in Fort Polk, Louisiana, but have lived in the Crowley/Ebenezer area since 1963. My wife, Patty, and I have been married since February 1983. We have two children and three grandchildren. Our family has a unique Edward Jones background. I have one brother who has retired from Edward Jones, another brother in Georgia, a son-in-law in Texas and our son in Youngsville, Louisiana: all Edward Jones financial advisors.
