Growing up in Onida, SD really engrained hard work, honesty, generosity, a sense of community, and ethical values that I have carried with me throughout my life and into my career. Along with my wife Nikki, a physical therapist, and daughters Hadley-3, and Hayden-1, we are proud to call South Dakota our home and we are grateful to be surrounded by mid-western families that share similar values and interests. Nikki and I are blessed to have a child with Down syndrome which has made me very passionate about staying connected and working with families and associations that share similar special needs interests. I enjoy traveling, sports, hunting, fishing, camping, cooking, music, exercise and spending time with my family.As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I believe it’s important to invest my time in understanding your specific financial situation, long-term goals and comfort with risk, before creating any type of investment strategy. With this knowledge, it’s my job to work in conjunction with your accounting and legal team to develop a customized financial strategy to help you and your family organize, grow, protect and transfer that wealth according to the overall strategy.My inspiration for being a financial advisor is driven by the gratification I feel when I can help clients achieve their short- and long-term goals. Whether that is putting money away for college education, retirement planning, estate considerations, or ensuring you are adequately protected in the case of an unexpected event, I take pride in my ability to help clients achieve these goals./*********/For instructions to opt out of Edward Jones commercial messaging and other important disclosures, see www.edwardjones.com/disclosures/social-media.
