My name is Paul Simmons. My wife, Kristie, and I both grew up and still have family throughout western Wisconsin. I attended the University of Wisconsin River Falls, focusing my studies on business administration. I was introduced to Edward Jones by my brother, Brian, who is currently a financial advisor in Bloomer, WI.

In 2004, I began my career with Edward Jones in Hudson. I have served as a mentor, a field trainer and a client solutions specialist to other Edward Jones financial advisors, helping them develop deeper and more meaningful relationships with the clients they work with. I also became a limited partner in the firm in 2014.

I have been active in business and civic affairs in Hudson throughout those 17 years. I am a member of the Hudson Chamber of Commerce and have proudly served on the Hudson Chamber's board of directors. In addition, I served as a member of the Hudson Chamber Ambassadors from 2005 through 2015 and the Chamber's Leads Group since pioneering the program in 2006. Along with being a member of Hudson Noon Rotary Club, I am also a member of Hudson Lion's Club and received the Lion of the Year Award in 2007.

I met Kristie in 2003 while she was finishing school and she has now been a substance abuse counselor for 18 years. She works for Pierce County Department of Human Services where she has a passion for working with people with addiction issues. We have two beautiful daughters, Sophia (8) and Rosie (6), along with one Yorkie, Gracie, who we enjoy spending all of our time with. Our family resides in Baldwin and we enjoy spending time outdoors, riding 4 wheelers and traveling as a family.

While building our business for the last 17 years, we have been focused primarily on serving individual investors and have a passion for working with people leading up and into retirement. Throughout the years, we've developed wonderful relationships with our clients and look forward to learning about your financial goals and your family.
