I joined Edward Jones as a financial advisor in 2000 and became a limited partner in 2007.
As your Edward Jones branch team, we believe it’s important to invest our time to understand what you’re working toward before you invest your money. Working closely with you and your CPA, attorney and other professionals, we can help determine the most appropriate financial strategy for you and your family. We can also help with your retirement savings, so you have more options when you retire, regardless of what you decide to do. The key to successful investing is to develop a strategy now that can help you reach your future goals. At Edward Jones, we work extensively in meeting the needs of individual investors by helping them map out long−term investment strategies.
Our branch team consists of Theresa Heingarten and Elise Pomet. Theresa joined Edward Jones in 2005, while Elise has been with our firm since 2011. They are both limited partners with Edward Jones and provide excellent service to our clients.
On a personal note, I earned a bachelor's degree in psychology from LSU. I also received a Juris Doctor from Loyola Law School, graduating with Law Review honors. My wife, Carey, and I met in high school and were married in 1991. We have one son, Trey, who graduated with honors from LSU with a petroleum engineering degree. I enjoy hunting, fishing, golf and all sports.
At Edward Jones, we value personal relationships based on a deep understanding of your unique financial needs. We can develop a solutions-focused approach tailored to your individual goals and provide exceptional service. Our firm has thousands of people and advanced technology supporting our office so that we can help you reach your long-term financial goals. We are focused on you.
