Kenneth E Griffin

Being an Edward Jones financial advisor means being passionate about my clients’ success. In fact, that’s where my love and interest for the market started. My parents weren’t great savers, and it didn’t take me long to realize that, if they had a little help, they may have been able to work a little less. My career as a Sergeant in the Marines, and later running a large hospital department, gave me invaluable people skills and only increased my desire to help others. When talking with my own Edward Jones financial advisor one evening, he suggested I pair my passion for helping with my love of the market by becoming a financial advisor. I’ve never looked back!

When you step into my office as a potential client, my first priority is getting to know who you are and what you’re passionate about. Once we partner together, I really step into three roles: one as a coach to help you through times of need; one as a financial advisor to help you with your investments and insurance needs; and one as a trusted friend as I spend more time with you and your family.

Our ideal clients are realistic about their expectations, have complex needs and can grow with us over time. If you value high-quality service and advice, have over 100K in assets and are ready to find a financial partner for life, our office may be a good fit. I’m especially passionate about partnering with veterans, small-business owners, families, widows and woman investors.

Our Canton office serves clients in Akron and Canton, as well as digitally partners with clients in more than 10 states.

Outside of the office, I love spending time hiking, traveling and staying active with my teenage son, Joe. I am proud to partner with several charitable organizations including Kiwanis, the Canton Chamber and Toys for Tots. I’m also very proud of my six years of service with the Marines, where I served as an M1A1 Tank Section Leader.
