Throughout my life, helping others has been an integral part of who I am. For the last 13 years I have fulfilled that calling by serving the communities that I have lived in as both a professional educator and a coach. During my time as an educator, I spent much of my career teaching high school economics. It was here that I began to teach students about personal finance and the global economy. Over the course of more than a decade in the classroom, I fell in love with helping people understand how they might be able to improve their financial future. In 2023, I was given the opportunity to combine my love for teaching and my desire to help people reach their financial goals by starting a new career as an Edward Jones Financial Advisor. From my new platform, I believe I can help make a difference in the lives of the families in my community. I chose to work at Edward Jones because of the firm's commitment to building strong relationships with the communities and clients we serve. I grew up in Cedar Park, Texas and I am proud to have the opportunity to help those in my hometown, and the surrounding communities, reach their financial goals.At Edward Jones, we strive to make sure clients feel heard, and that we understand their unique story. We also work to help clients understand the investment world in terms they can relate to. As a firm, we offer investments, services, and tools our clients need to work toward their financial future. Outside of work I am a husband and a father of four boys. Our family enjoys traveling, especially to the beach. In my spare time I enjoy reading, playing my guitar, fishing, sports of all kinds, and generally making memories with my wife and boys.If you are looking for a financial advisor with the heart of a teacher, I want to invite you to reach out to me at robert.irwin@edwardjones.com. Let me know how I can best serve you, and together, we can work toward achieving your financial goals./*********/For instructions to opt out of Edward Jones commercial messaging and other important disclosures, see www.edwardjones.com/disclosures/social-media.
