As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I believe it's important to invest my time to understand what you are working toward before you invest your money. Working closely with you, your CPA, attorney and other professionals, I can help determine the most appropriate financial strategy for you and your family.

Originally from Gurnee, IL, I graduated from Monmouth College in Monmouth, IL, where I double majored in business administration and communications.

Before working at Edward Jones, I served as president of Envision Boats, Inc., a manufacturer of fiberglass performance boats. I began my career as a financial advisor in 2009. I moved to the Mattoon Edward Jones office in January 2015.

I completed the CFP Board's certification requirements. Individuals who hold CFP® certification must complete a CFP® Board Registered educational program, pass the CFP® examination and background check, and agree to comply with the CFP® Board's Code of Ethics and Standards of Conduct. This training offers investment professionals information across a broad range of topics. Study topics include professional conduct and regulation, general principles of financial strategies, risk management and insurance planning, investment strategies, retirement savings and income planning, and estate considerations.

I am a member of the Mattoon Kiwanis Club. Founded in 1915, Kiwanis International is a global organization of members dedicated to serving the children of the world.

I enjoy spending time with my family – my wife, Shannon, and son, Mitchell. In my spare time, I also enjoy working on classic cars, boating and BBQ competitions.

My branch office administrator, Peggy Towle, is dedicated to providing you with the highest level of service possible. Please don't hesitate to call on her with questions concerning your statements, dividends, stock certificates or your account in general.
