Experience and BackgroundI became an Edward Jones client in 2007 and experienced firsthand the quality-oriented, long-term investment philosophy of Edward Jones. My financial advisor had an amazing impact on me and my family, and in 2016, I realized I wanted a career change and wanted to help people change their lives, as my financial advisor had done for us. In the spring of that year, Lacey and I had our second child in April, sold our house in Dallas and moved to Austin in May, and I became an Edward Jones financial advisor in June. It has been one of the best decisions we've ever made!As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I put my clients' interests first. I believe it’s important to invest my time in understanding your situation and financial goals before you invest your money. Put simply, I want to know what is most important to you. Once we've identified your goals, I use an established process to build a customized financial strategy to help you meet them. With that strategy in place, I partner with you throughout your lifetime to help ensure you stay on track and make adjustments when necessary or when life throws a curveball.I grew up in Odessa and graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 2008. My wife, Lacey, and I have two children: Zoey and Raylan, and a terrier named Pip, who just showed up in our backyard one Easter morning. I love working and living here in southwest Austin. When I'm not working, I spend my time golfing, enjoying Lake LBJ, traveling, cheering for my kids' activities, all things UT athletics, Cowboys, Rangers, Mavericks, Stars and Everton FC.I'm a proud sponsor of Launch Pad Job Club, a Rotary member and an attendee of Austin Ridge Bible Church.Please contact me to discuss your situation. My branch office administrator, Melinda Martinez, and I pride ourselves on providing highly personalized service to help us better understand and meet our clients’ unique goals and needs. We look forward to speaking with you!/*********/For instructions to opt out of Edward Jones commercial messaging and other important disclosures, see www.edwardjones.com/disclosures/social-media.
