My grandfather first introduced me to the concept of investing when I was around six years old. While looking through the stock tables in the newspaper, he would call out the names of a couple companies and ask which he should buy. Of course I had no idea what those companies did or what a stock was, but he made me feel like I was part of his decision making process and started my interest in investing.

Years later, I went to Oklahoma State University to pursue a degree in finance. After graduation I wanted to start investing as early as possible, but even with all of the finance classes I had taken, I wasn't sure where to begin. That was when I realized that most people likely had the same concerns. Fortunately, one of my good friends became a financial advisor with Edward Jones and took the time to answer my questions.

In 2015, while working in the oil and gas industry, my wife and I relocated to the Houston area. My interest in investing had only grown over the years, so we decided that it was time for me to follow my passion by pursuing a career in helping others understand investing and reach their financial goals.

The choice to come to Edward Jones was an easy one. The company's approach to investing, and its commitment to serving clients aligned perfectly with how I envisioned my career.

My branch office administrator, Kim Dermody, has been with the company since 2016 and is a key part of working toward our goal of providing an ideal client experience. In her free time, Kim enjoys being outdoors and spending time with her family.

Today, our branch works with clients that are serious about their financial future. Whether it's investing to prepare for retirement, creating a strategy for living in retirement, or planning for education expenses, we partner with our clients to create customized strategies to help them succeed in what's most important to them.

We look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your family.
