Watching my grandparents struggle financially in retirement taught me the importance of financial planning for retirement. Losing my mother while I was still a young child taught me the importance of life insurance. These circumstances led me to decide that my purpose in this life is to help others plan ahead in hopes that they don't have those same financial burdens themselves, or passed along to their family. I help my clients everyday with objectives such as: planning for retirement, living in retirement, paying for education for children/grandchildren, preparing for the unexpected (Life/LTC insurance), estate considerations, etc. I strive to exceed my clients' expectations by providing superior service. I always keep my clients' best interests in mind when making recommendations, to ensure they are treated with honesty and integrity. I am a highly intelligent, self-motivated, hardworking leader who also enjoys his family time with his wife and 2 daughters. I am the proud owner of a Masters of Business Administration. My objectives for LinkedIn are to meet and network with other professionals, as well as assist anyone that may need help or advice concerning finances./*********/For instructions to opt out of Edward Jones commercial messaging and other important disclosures, see www.edwardjones.com/disclosures/social-media.
