I became a financial advisor to leverage my skills in finance and investments, helping families to develop goals and achieve their financial dreams. I work to simplify the complex world of investments and treat my job as a teacher, helping to educate families about investments and how they assist in achieving their unique goals.

I found my home at Edward Jones because I sincerely care about the financial success of local families and the community. I have great satisfaction witnessing clients enjoy retirement, educate their children and grandchildren, and transfer wealth to the next generation. The firm’s values and culture perfectly match my own in placing client needs first.

One of my best business decisions was hiring our branch office administrator, Marissa Dapra. She is the true jewel of our office, as clients will attest. I admire her professionalism, intellect, diligent work ethic and always pleasant attitude. I’m fortunate to have the pleasure of working with her to provide our clients with the highest level of personal service.

I was born and raised in Ford City, PA area. I completed my undergraduate degree from Duquesne University and then went on to receive my master's degree in finance and banking from Case Western Reserve University’s Weatherhead School of Management. I’ve worked for small consulting firms and Fortune 500 corporations in accounting, finance, economics and investments for my entire career. I have lived in Pittsburgh, the suburbs of Washington D.C, Akron, Ohio, Cleveland, Ohio and Grand Rapids, Michigan before returning home to Ford City.

I’m an all Pittsburgh team sports fan and I have a passion for golf, running, boating, skiing and motorcycling. I've competed in the Pittsburgh Marathon five times. I love to travel and have had the good fortune to visit at least 17 countries around the world. I enjoy the simple pleasure of a good meal and treasure time spent with family and friends.
