During my years as an Army officer, I came to value the hard work and ethics the Army instilled in me. As I transitioned to personal finance, I wanted to find a company that shared similar values. I discussed, read about and interviewed a number of investment firms, but the one I kept coming back to was Edward Jones. The fact that we are employee owned, that during the 2008 financial recession we took no government stimulus and that we continue to put our clients first ensured that I made the correct decision.

As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I believe the most important action I take is to listen. Listen to your story. Your goals. Your concerns. Your comfort with investment risk. Your needs. Only after understanding you, can I use our established process to build and customize a financial strategy to meet your needs.

My branch office administrator, Stella Willis, and I strive each day to provide an ideal client experience. We are so fortunate to be able to make a difference in our clients' lives and value the trust and confidence they share with us.

Outside of the office, my wife, Angie, and I reside in Overland Park. We are a blended family with seven kids total. We relish the opportunity to be a part of our children's lives by coaching youth sports, and supporting them in all they do.
