When offered the opportunity to become a financial advisor with Edward Jones, I could have never predicted how dramatically my life would change. I was hired on with Edward Jones in August of 2001, and a month later, the world was forever changed by the events of 9/11. This was one of the most chaotic and terrifying times in the financial industry; however, people needed advice and help navigating through those uncertain times, and we were here to help.

Our branch team has since expanded, with Trisha Martens joining the team in June 2008, and Carly Schnell joining in September 2019. Our business model is team based, allowing the three of us to deeply serve each and every investor. It is truly a client-centered approach. We partner with each individual who we have the opportunity to work with in order to come up with a tailored approach to help meet every personal, financial goal.

My wife, Crystal, and I are both Western Nebraska natives. We graduated from Chadron State College before moving away for about five years. In 2002, we made the decision to return to this community and make it our home. Since then, we have had three amazing children: Shea, Tatum and Quinn. When I am not in the office, you can find myself and my family enjoying outdoor recreation, traveling and spending time with friends and family.
