My name is Rusty Johns, and I am a financial advisor with Edward Jones. I live in Erda while building a home in Rush Valley. I enjoy spending time with my wife and two children doing almost anything outside. We love Utah with all its' beauty as it cycles through the four seasons. We are active in the community and love to try and better it for our children.I first stumbled into the world of investing 25 years ago when I read a book about acquiring assets over liabilities. When I saved up enough money to "invest", I came across someone offering an aggressive return for minimal effort. It ended up being a scam and I was too naive to think there were people presenting themselves as advisors that would take your money or offer you bad advice for their gain. After that rough lesson, I had to believe there were honest advisors out there and I still had the itch to invest in true assets. I wanted to be a beacon for those seeking honest advice, unbiased of any kind of personal gain. After 14 years in the industry, I have developed a passion for guiding people towards their financial goals.Thanks to technology, our branch can help clients across the nation. We spend the time it takes to get to know families and business owners deeply, and by positively impacting their lives, we are blessed with many referrals to their family and friends. The use of technology grants us the capabilities to work with those people special to our clients anywhere in the country.A lot of people work their 40 to 60 hour a week jobs, hoping their retirement money or the sale of their business along with Social Security will cover their expenses. I take the time to sit with clients and actually put pen to paper to figure out what they want their future to look like. By getting on the right path and revisiting that plan frequently I help clients obtain their financial goals. Every client working with me will receive thorough advice, customized to their needs, centered around their unique situation.The route to obtain any financial goal will always include quality investment habits and consistent oversight and frequent assessment throughout each year. We complete very thorough reviews to ensure our clients are on track. You only live once. I want to partner to help you achieve as many of your dreams as possible./*********/For instructions to opt out of Edward Jones commercial messaging and other important disclosures, see www.edwardjones.com/disclosures/social-media.
