Description

My grandmothers raised me and taught me love for family and the importance of working hard to achieve goals. My first job was a paper route at 12 years old in Staten Island, N.Y. It taught me to be consistent and reliable for my customers while balancing a budget. I have lived in Lee County many years and was a Navy Recruiter there from 2000-2005. I still own property and have many Family and friends there. The Chance to come back for a new client is always welcomed. I have an extensive amount of knowledge in Veteran , 1st Responder and Union retirement plans. Call to set an introductory appointment today.

As I grew up, I knew I needed a job that I could build into a career and joined the United States Navy. During my 30 years of service, I completed 14 deployments to 55 countries and six of the seven continents and completed my Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration. This gave me an opportunity to make a positive impact on the world stage with volunteering in many of those countries while being an ambassador of the United States. During my career I achieved the rank of Senior Chief (E-8) before commissioning in 2014 to become a Warrant Officer. This allowed me to be a mentor to many of our great military personnel. The opportunity to work with people from all walks of life from all over the world has greatly enhanced my preparation to be an asset to Edward Jones and our clients.

We have a listen-first approach at Edward Jones that allows us to fully understand the client and their goals and desires. Then together we will forge a path to meet the needs of our client. At Edward Jones, we're focused on you. The firm has thousands of people working behind the scenes and advanced technology supporting our office so we can help you reach your goals.

My wife, Amy, and I have lived in Florida (outside of deployments) for over 35 years. Amy also served honorably in the Navy. We relocated to Trenton, Fla., in 2020, where I am a member of the Chamber of Commerce. I enjoy all sports and watch football and baseball most. We have four dogs: Kato, Murfee, Max and Sam. I am home based in Northern Florida but i'm in Lee County all the time. I love working with prior Military , 1st responders and FRS members when i get the opportunity.
