Joshua W Ruland

As a former educator, helping others has been an integral part of who I am. I chose a career in financial services because I believe I can make a difference in the lives of families in my community.

At Edward Jones, we strive to make sure clients feel heard, and that we understand their unique story. We also work to help clients understand the investment world in terms they can relate to.

I earned my BA in psychology and English and my MA in education from the University of St. Francis and my doctorate from Loyola University Chicago. Before joining the team at Edward Jones, I worked in public education as a teacher and administrator in the Plainfield and Naperville area.

As a family of six (elementary to college ages), I spend much of my time with my children at school and sports activities ranging from soccer and theatre to choir and 4H. In addition to our children's activities, we are avid travelers and have visited almost half of our national parks in our vintage Airstream we have been remodeling.

I love our local small businesses and often find myself living vicariously through their success. I am excited to support small businesses and small business owners in many ways.
