General Info

My roots in north Texas run deep. I met my wife while attending high school in Fort Worth, and after we both graduated from Texas Christian University, we were married in Fort Worth. Our three children are the fourth generation in our family to be born and raised in Fort Worth. Today, our children are grown and they, along with our seven grandchildren, all live in the DFW area. My entrepreneurial career has taken me around the world but DFW has always been my home. Over the past two decades, I have coached thousands of seniors, baby boomers and their families to address the cascading financial challenges that come with a long retirement. Now, as a financial advisor at Edward Jones, my passion is to provide my clients with guidance that helps prepare them for life's financial challenges and reduce the related stress. For those that are committed to preparing for those financial challenges, I am committed to providing you with knowledge that will empower you, insight that will challenge you and investment options that will support you and your family. My overarching goal is to effectively leverage my experience with the vast resources available at Edward Jones to tailor a sustainable strategy that will help you accomplish your specific financial objectives. Many of my clients are small business owners, healthcare professionals and/or commissioned salespeople; some are already retired and some are just beginning their careers. But, in more general terms, my "ideal client" is an individual or couple (young or old) that sees preparing for life's financial challenges as one of their important priorities. If that describes you, I look forward to helping you and your family achieve your financial goals.
