As a financial advisor I love to help people prepare for their long term financial future. Working closely with my clients face to face on a regular basis allows us to define their goals and develop effective strategies to achieve them. From Edward Jones you can expect time proven investment philosophies, upfront discussions about costs, and a sincere commitment to always do what's right for our clients.I graduated from Texas A&M University in 1979 with a bachelor's degree in Marine Engineering. I have been married to my wife, Janie, for 28 years. Our only child, Veronica, is currently studying hard at Texas A&M University in College Station./*********/For instructions to opt out of Edward Jones commercial messaging and other important disclosures, see www.edwardjones.com/disclosures/social-media.
