My clients are driven by their hopes and dreams, and I am driven to serve them. With over 15 years financial services experience with Edward Jones, I am here to help individuals, families and business owners meet their financial goals through a personalized process. I am here to provide trusted assistance across every stage of your life, take the time to understand and appreciate what is most important to you, and to build a professional and social connection with clients who value advice for investment selection and wealth strategies.
The firm has thousands of people and advanced technology supporting our office so that we can help you reach your investment goals by working with your CPA, attorney and other professionals. We offer flexible appointment options including web conferencing, and I am registered in nearly all 50 states. We strive to create relationships that will last a lifetime.
Prior to joining Edward Jones, I graduated from Western Illinois University and was also enrolled with the University of Illinois MBA program. In addition to my education, I proudly served in the Illinois Army National Guard and am a veteran, having deployed to Operation Iraqi Freedom. After 10 years of service, at the rank of Captain, I received an Honorable Discharge.
My wife, Brittney, and our two children settled here in the Springfield area in 2006 after returning from my deployment. I take pride in this community and value our local businesses. Over the years, I have supported and sponsored various area organizations and charities such as Hope School, Asian Indian Women's Organization, Springfield Ansar Shriners, Athens Lions Club and Springfield Frontiers International.
If you or someone you know is in need of an experienced financial advisor, it would be my pleasure to explain my established process and show how we can partner together to determine the appropriate financial strategy that is unique to your situation.
I look forward to partnering with you!
