My exciting career in finance began in 1989 when I joined Merrill Lynch as a cashier and wire operator. It was here that I began to learn the basics of how financial advisors interact with their clients and how the financial markets work. What a great experience it was! My post Merrill Lynch work experience continued as I later joined Charles Schwab Institutional, Oppenheimer, Alpine Bank and then Edward Jones in Glenwood Springs. My formal college education allowed me to achieve degrees in business, science and photography.

As I reflect on my 32-plus years in finance, I realize that this invaluable experience, coupled with my desire to learn just about everything I can about the financial markets, has provided me with a diverse acumen of insight and knowledge that I love to bring to our clients each and every day. Helping clients and their families achieve their financial goals and objectives is what motivates me. It's a wonderful thing!

Lifelong Glenwood Springs resident Karen King joined our Edward Jones office in 2019 as Branch Office Administrator. With unparalleled attention to detail, kindness and professionalism, Karen manages all operational aspects of our office. Clients depend on her every day as I do, to keep things structured and working in an efficient manner. As our existing clients know very well, Karen is wonderful!
