As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I believe it's important to be actively involved in the community. This is why I chose Vermilion for my branch location, which is where I live and grew up.

I graduated from Vermilion High School in 2004. I had an Edward Jones financial advisor when I was in high school and that relationship developed my interest in finance and ultimately helped me decide to go to college for finance. Since then, I have always wanted to work for Edward Jones because I valued the time and attention my advisor gave me, and I want to share this experience with others.

I have worked in the finance industry since 2008. I started as a broker for JPMorgan in Chicago, Illinois. Next, I joined the Air Force to work in corporate finance. I served as the chief financial officer of two medical clinics in Charleston, South Carolina and Great Falls, Montana. Finally, I moved to Edward Jones where I have always planned to finish my career. I am also finishing out my military career in the Air National Guard.

I studied finance at Northwood University where I graduated first in my class in finance. I also received my MBA from Cleveland State University. I met my wife, Amy, while stationed in Charleston. Amy runs our family cottage rental business in Vermilion. Amy and I love to hike, travel, snow/water ski, wakeboard, go to concerts and sail.
