Throughout my ten years at Edward Jones, I have often been asked why I do what I do. It really all boils down to this: I want to help families achieve their financial goals.

I grew up in Brooklyn Heights, Ohio as one of three brothers. My parents instilled in me a hardworking, compassionate mentality that I carry with me to this day.

I learned the value of money at a very young age. While most kids were playing sports or video games, I started my first paying job at the age of 14. I was an umpire, stock boy, had a newspaper route and worked at a drug store.

I worked my way through college to minimize my student loan debt and I graduated on time from Cleveland State University. After graduation, I started the process to find my dream career. What I found was more than I could have ever imagined. I can honestly say I have found my career job right here at Edward Jones Investments.

In addition to being a financial advisor, I volunteer within the city of Streetsboro. I am on the board of directors for both the Streetsboro Chamber of Commerce and the Streetsboro Visitors and Convention Bureau. I enjoy helping others and giving back to this great community. I also volunteer within Edward Jones as a coach, field trainer and mentor for newer financial advisors.

While not at the office, you can find me with my family at a sporting event or enjoying the outdoors. My wife, Hannah, and I have two young children: Carson and Amelia.

My branch office administrator, Genevieve, has been with Edward Jones for eight years and provides personal and dedicated client service. She is the editor of our regional Edward Jones newsletter and participates in local community theatres. Genevieve and her husband, Tim, have two children, Aiden and Averie.

Every one of my clients has a different story. I am passionate about learning what is important to you and partnering with you to formulate a strategy for a better future.

Please contact me to see if our office is right for you.
