One of my long-time clients once told me that the reason he worked with me was so he could be confident about his situation. It struck me in this moment that stress, anxiety and worry are core feelings for many individuals and families as they grow and protect their family's goals. Coming from large extended families including my wife and three children, I understand the pressures and outside forces that can trigger the worry.

While playing Division 1 baseball during my time at Liberty University, I was often called on during late inning, high pressure situations to close out ball games as a pitcher. This role taught be how to block out distractions and outside pressures in order to stay focused on the goals that are important to my team. Similarly, there are many forces that can derail you from executing your financial goals. I have been able to help clients stay focused on the important factors that lead to financial success which allows them to spend more time on the things they love the most.

In 2011, I left the teaching and coaching profession in the public-school system to pursue a career with Edward Jones. Although not in a classroom, I have brought the heart of a teacher to my practice where I will help you understand what is most important to you and build a strategy to reach financial confidence. Along with the help of my branch office administrator, Patty, I will guide and coach you to reach your desired outcomes.

With this approach, I was blessed to attend Barron's Top Advisor Conference in 2018 and also hold the Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor (CRPC®) designation.

We are excited about our purpose to reduce worry for you so that you can have the freedom to enjoy the life you have been given to live.
