My first experience with Edward Jones came as a client. As a new college graduate in 1996 who was interested in investing but just starting out, I was impressed and grateful for the personal attention I was given by my Edward Jones financial advisor. Five years later, in 2001, I was drawn to a career with the firm.

Edward Jones has allowed me to build a practice centered on the needs of the individual investor. My Senior Branch Office Administrator, Jill Renfro, joined my office in 2002 and together, our goal has always been to build meaningful relationships with our clients by being helpful, knowledgeable and accessible. Our one-on-one approach fosters an environment where our clients feel that we understand what is most important to them.

Every solution I offer my clients is tailored to their own personal situation. One thing most of my ideal clients have in common, regardless of whether they are business owners, farmers, professionals or individuals, is that they tend to be serious, long-term investors who value the advice and attention we have to offer. Beginning my career only three weeks before the events of 9/11 and the turbulent times that followed highlighted to me early in my career the importance of following a prudent approach to investing. In addition to my years of experience, I also chose to obtain my CFP® certification to better serve my clients.

My wife and I reside in Marshall and have raised our family here. In my down time, I enjoy music and sports. I love the Royals and Mizzou, but I'm best known as being a lifelong Raiders fan.

I would love to share the Edward Jones difference with you and would welcome the opportunity to know more about your situation. Feel free to call to schedule a face-to-face, phone or Zoom appointment.
