I attended and graduated from Cretin-Derham Hall High School in St. Paul, Minnesota before attending and graduating from Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business. While at Georgetown, I participated in a number of activities, including the Georgetown Hoya football team. I learned from my college experience important life-long skills of listening, understanding and appreciating the needs, wants, and goals of others through participatory communications. I began my career with Edward Jones in 2007 and I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, where I operate under the fiduciary standards set by the CFP® Board's Code of Ethics and Standards of Conduct. I also hold the certification of an Accredited Asset Management Specialist™. For more than 15 years, my team and I have been dedicated to helping individuals, families, professional athletes, and entertainers, chart financial plans specifically and best for them. I believe everyone wants to live a quality, financially secure, and happy life and one way to help achieve these goals is through sound, sustaining, and growing financial base. We get but one life to live and it is my responsibility as a financial advisor to help you strategically define and live yours, rather than have your financial position dictate that for you. I see financial stability and growth not only as ways of comfortably obtaining what you need and want, but also as driving forces that create a sense of pride, achievement, and a role model for those you love, and those who aspire to be like you. This is where I can add value as a trusted financial advisor because of my extensive experience and professional style that is based on honesty, integrity, clarity, and participatory decision making that is well-thought out. When taking needed time away from the office, you might find me on the golf course, in the kitchen trying out new recipes, taking on home repair projects, traveling the world, and spending quality time with loved ones.
