As a financial advisor with over 20 years of experience in the financial services industry, I am passionate about making sure my clients are able to identify and achieve their hopes and dreams. I enjoy establishing long-term relationships with my clients, guiding them through challenging times, helping them maintain focus on what’s important to them and celebrating their many accomplishments.The financial world can seem intimidating and I do my best to educate my clients, simplifying the process to avoid feeling overwhelmed and instead focusing on the steps toward achieving their goals. I work with individuals, families and businesses, asking the right questions to understand each client and create customized written plans to establish a clear path towards achieving their individual financial goals and addressing their unique needs. These goals could include having emergency cash reserves, paying down debt, saving for college, protecting assets and living comfortably through retirement.I am fortunate to work for an established and dynamic company in Edward Jones, giving me the opportunity to further my career as a financial advisor and my desire to help others. Serving my community with a focus on the values of honesty and integrity have been important to me throughout my life. Some of my proudest achievements have been earning the rank of Eagle Scout and getting commissioned through the Providence College ROTC program to serve as an Army Officer.In my free time, my family and I enjoy exploring the diverse landscape of Northern Virginia, playing sports and games together, and volunteering for their school and community./*********/For instructions to opt out of Edward Jones commercial messaging and other important disclosures, see www.edwardjones.com/disclosures/social-media.
