Growing up on a small family farm in Idaho probably doesn't seem like the ideal background for a financial advisor. However, I was taught valuable lessons in hard work, helping others and managing risk.

Today, I work together with my branch team to help individuals, families and small businesses organize their financial lives and reach their goals. We begin this long-term journey by understanding what is most valuable to you and what goals drive your future. After we've established a foundation, we will work together with you and your family, using a process to tailor our advice. To further your experience at our branch, we closely work with your attorney and CPA to ensure your interest is at the forefront of every conversation.

The values instilled in me from my time on our farm have shaped my career as a financial advisor. Today, I serve as a regional leader, assisting over 80 branches and their teams in the Boise area. My team includes extraordinary Sr. Branch Office Administrator Taylor Hurley and Branch Office Administrator Samantha Riley. Our team demonstrates the utmost care in creating an experience that is unique to each client's retirement purpose.

Education and community are engrained in who I am and have influenced my practice here at Edward Jones. For this reason, I am a 23-year member of the Chamber of Commerce, Military Affairs Committee and the MH Lions Club. I am also the past VP of Silver Wings of Idaho, demonstrating my appreciation for our military community. My education includes a bachelor's degree in business from the University of Idaho as well as the CFP® designation.

Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with my family – my wife, Jennika, and our three sons, Carter, Hudson and Max. I'm an avid reader and lousy golfer.
