My name is Kory Robert Blastic and I have been an Edward Jones financial advisor since early 2008. I was raised in Laingsburg, MI and graduated from high school there. I have a wife and four amazing children ranging in age from 2 to 16. I attended Lansing Community College and Northwood University, obtaining degrees in marketing and management. I moved to Portland, MI in 2002 for a franchise business venture. I completed an MSA in leadership from Central Michigan University in 2008.

I joined Edward Jones after investigating their philosophy, opportunity and client-based foundation. I was drawn to the partnership of Edward Jones, the autonomy offered to financial advisors and their deeply rooted support of branches with thousands of people and advanced technology.

In fact, I had been turned on to investing early in life. My father discussed markets and investment strategies with me often. I learned more about investing at Lansing Community College. I called a financial advisor and opened an account for myself at age 18. My interest and knowledge expanded rapidly from that point forward!

My true interest was to build a business in Portland and in March 2008, I opened a branch office for Edward Jones in the Portland area.

My career and profession are important to me. I have the tools and training to help so many people in my community reach their financial goals and lifetime aspirations. I take what I do to heart. My parents were my first clients, but illness took them both before they could complete their plan for retirement and enjoy their life of saving. I work every day to help my clients prepare for and have what my parents missed out on. Helping those clients achieve their life's goals is something I take very seriously.
