I grew up on a cattle ranch in New Mexico that my great grandfather homesteaded in 1902. I attribute my work ethic and independence to this background.

My first professional experience was owning a CPA firm in Artesia, NM for 18 years before moving to Arkansas. I joined Edward Jones in 1995 and obtained my CFP® professional designation in 2003.

My wife, Kary, and I were married in 1973. We have two sons. Spencer is an Edward Jones financial advisor and Taylor was an Edward Jones financial advisor before moving to the mission field where he served in Siberia and Mongolia. I have nine grandchildren.

Our branch team mission is about helping people not only build wealth, but protect it and transfer the wealth when they are through with it. We recognize that people have different definitions of financial success and responsibility.

We are involved with numerous charitable organizations in White County, but our biggest focus is on Jacob's Place for the homeless.

Our team of three has been together for over 14 years, and we love to surprise and delight our clients with exceptional service, and occasionally with personal observances around events in their lives.

We enjoy working with people who need and want help. We highly value great relationships with our clients and our "high-fives" at the end of each day usually are about those relationships.
