Description

As a former PGA golf professional with over 20 years of experience in professional golf management, I bring a unique perspective to the field of financial advising. My career in professional golf taught me the importance of strategy, discipline and adaptability — skills I now apply to help clients achieve their financial goals.

My vision is to inspire and empower clients to reach their financial aspirations. I am dedicated to providing comprehensive financial guidance to individuals, families and business owners who value consultative advice delivered with a high level of personal service.

At Edward Jones, we’ve adhered to the same straightforward investing philosophy for over 100 years: invest for the long term, seek quality investments and manage risk through diversification. I embrace this philosophy by helping my clients prepare for what matters most to them, starting with understanding their unique stories. Life is shaped by key moments, and I make it a priority to know my clients’ stories well.

One of the key drivers that led me to this career was my desire for a deeper understanding of investing and the value it can bring to one’s life. Growing up, financial literacy wasn’t taught in school — not in grade school, not in high school. I realized how transformative early investing can be, and I feel a sense of duty not only to help but also to educate others about its importance.

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll likely find me on the golf course, at our family farm, or spending time with my wife, Melissa, and our two children, Hadley and Hazel.

I began my career as a financial advisor with Edward Jones in July 2024, and now that you know my story, I’d love to hear yours!
