I was born and raised in the Bay Area of Northern California. I made my way to the great state of Texas on a full athletic scholarship in 2010 to attend Texas State University here in San Marcos. Texas State helped me fulfill my dream of playing football at the Division 1 level.
Texas State is where I met my wife, Ashley. We had our first child in August of 2019. Our daughter, Ayla, is the greatest thing that has ever happened to us. We have lived in Hays County for the last 10 years.
I jumped at the opportunity to join Edward Jones. I couldn't think of a better opportunity to service the people in my community. Using our established process, we partner with our clients to understand what's important to them and why.
Whether you're planning for retirement, saving for college for children or grandchildren, or just trying to protect the financial future of the ones you care for the most, as your financial advisor, it is important to understand the full picture of what we are working toward.
Investing is not "one size fits all". We use tailor-fit strategies based on in-depth conversations about various topics. Once we have your strategy in place, 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.
Branch office administrator Karen Fielder joined Edward Jones in 2021. She was born and raised in Central Texas with a strong sense of community. Her off time is spent taking care of her three Siberian Huskies and traveling with her husband to go scuba diving.
