At Edward Jones, we focus on you. Whether you are planning for retirement, saving for college, or just trying to protect the financial future of the ones you care for most, we can work together to develop specific strategies to help you achieve your long-term financial goals. I would like to help provide the answers to your questions so you can make informed, financially sound decisions.
Growing up on the family farm in Central Illinois taught me the value of working hard, taking risk and keeping sight of goals to reach a desired outcome. These values have inspired me to help not only my clients, but our community as well. My wife, Sarah, and I are proud to be raising our daughter in Canton and are passionate about supporting local agriculture and youth development programs.
It is important to our branch team, Kim, Holly and I, to help strengthen the economic and social growth of the community where our clients live and work. We are active in many local organizations such as FFA, Rotary Club, Girl Scouts, Spoon River United Way and Canton Schools.
We have built our business by treating our clients as we would like to be treated. It is a simple idea that still makes sense today, even in a complex marketplace. We believe that relationships are the key to a strong partnership, and in our view, meeting face to face allows us to provide highly personalized client care.
All aspects of our business are aligned to help us better understand and meet your unique needs. We meet when it is convenient for you because we recognize the challenges of today's busy schedules. Please contact us today so that we may partner together to build personalized strategies to keep you on track to meet your specific financial goals.
