As an Edward Jones financial advisor since 1982, I have advised clients during difficult life stages, complex investment situations and ever-changing market conditions. My goal has been to help my clients feel in control of financial matters and to clarify their life goals.

Whether you're planning for retirement, saving for college for children or grandchildren, or just trying to protect the financial future of the ones you care for the most, we can work together to develop specific strategies to help you achieve your goals. We can monitor your progress to help make sure you stay on track or determine if any adjustments need to be made. Throughout it all, we're dedicated to providing you top-notch client service.

But we're not alone. Thousands of people and advanced technology support our office so we can help ensure you receive the most current and comprehensive guidance. In addition, we welcome the opportunity to work with your attorney, accountant and other trusted professionals to deliver a comprehensive strategy that leverages everyone's expertise. Working together, we can help you develop a complete, tailored strategy to help you achieve your financial goals.

Along with my branch office administrators, Jill McGathey and Carole Hanson, we are dedicated to providing you with the highest level of service possible. I encourage you to reach out to them with questions or concerns you may have at any time.

Outside of the office, I am an avid gardener. I enjoy creating and tending to the landscape in my yard and sharing my creations with family and friends. My wife and I enjoy entertaining friends and spending time with our adult children and grandson.

Now more than ever, my team and I want to meet clients on their terms. Our established process allows us to help clients where they prefer to meet, by phone or by web conference, whichever they choose. Let's start the conversation at (708) 233-8711. I look forward to helping you achieve your financial goal.
