I joined Edward Jones in 1999 and have worked in the financial industry for over 35 years. During my career with Edward Jones, I have served the firm in several capacities, such as field trainer and mentor to new financial advisors. I enjoy seeing clients realize that their goals can be reached with planning.
I have lived in and around St. Joseph all my life. I am a proud Missouri Tiger alumni and fan. I studied economics and finance at Mizzou. My wife, Stacy, and I have three adult children, Olivia, Harrison and Hayden, and one grandson. Outside of the office, I enjoy travel and fishing, and I dabble in beekeeping. My family is active at Wyatt Park Baptist Church.

Our Process: We will consult with you to understand what is most important to you, learn how much risk you're willing (or not willing) to take to achieve your financial goals, and then create a personalized strategy to help you attain your goals. If in our initial appointment we find we are a good fit for one another, we will partner throughout your lifetime to help keep you on track to accomplish your goals. If we are not the right fit, we will connect you with someone in our network.
It's easy for investors to get caught up in the news of the day and lose sight of their long-term goals. It can cause them to abandon a well thought out strategy because the markets are temporarily down. What people lose sight of is that time passes by every day and if they don't use their time to prepare for the future, there is no getting it back. We help people stick to their strategy with long-term goals in mind.
