When I first made the decision to join Edward Jones in 2014, I thought a lot about what having a financial advisor could have done for my family. Even though they worked hard, they didn’t have the guidance they needed to set aside money for the future or put away funds for emergencies. Seeing their struggle and disappointment with not having a legacy to leave for the next generation motivated me to help others. Now, I get to provide investors with guidance and discipline to help build generational wealth, establish retirement funds and accomplish their other financial goals.Working with a financial advisor for the first time can feel intimidating. That’s why I strive to provide my clients with a comfortable, family-like atmosphere while also providing well-researched financial advice. I love serving the community I was raised in, and there’s no greater reward for me than helping my clients reach their goals and witness their vision realized as they enter retirement, achieve the next level of success with their business or leave a legacy for their children.My office in Portsmouth, VA, serves clients from the Hampton Roads area as well as out-of-state clients. Regardless of where they’re from, our branch office administrator, Brandi, has been providing our clients with impeccable care and administrative support. Brandi, along with her daughter, Cassidy, share a strong spirit of volunteerism that is an integral part of what we do at our branch./*********/For instructions to opt out of Edward Jones commercial messaging and other important disclosures, see www.edwardjones.com/disclosures/social-media.
