In 2002, I began my career as a financial advisor. Using an established process, I consistently work with individuals and families to build high quality, personalized financial strategies to help each of them reach their goals. In partnership with my branch team, we are dedicated to providing you top-notch client service.

But we're not alone. Thousands of people and advanced technology support our office, so we can help ensure you receive the most current and comprehensive guidance. In addition, we welcome the opportunity to work with your attorney, accountant and other trusted professionals to deliver a comprehensive strategy that leverages everyone's expertise. Working together, we can help you develop a complete, tailored strategy to help you achieve your personal financial goals.

Along with my role as a financial advisor, I was named a limited partner with the firm in 2006. I have also held numerous roles within Edward Jones, including serving as a level leader of financial advisors, field trainer and mentor. I have also had the opportunity to be invited to our home office as a visiting veteran financial advisor to help develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes of new financial advisors.

I earned my bachelor's degree from Hope College, did two years of graduate work at Bowling Green State University, have Series 07, 63 and 66 Securities Registrations, as well as various Insurance Licenses.

Within the community, I am an active board member for Hark Up Ministries, and an avid supporter of Van Andel Institute & Cancer Research, the Arts, Young Life and the local school systems.

I have been married to my wife, Sara, since 1998, and together we have four children: Drew, Blake, Grace and Brooke. I am guided by my faith, enjoy sports and travel, and cherish spending time with my family.
