As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I am committed to applying my knowledge and experience to help clients work together toward their financial and life goals and dreams. I help clients develop tailored investment strategies, which address their financial concerns, asset growth and wealth preservation objectives. I aim to be a beacon of light in uncertain times - helping individuals, business owners and professionals navigate their way through the many issues affecting them.
What motivates me on a daily basis is my desire to work with and foster long-term relationships with many individuals, families and businesses. I have the ability to connect with people, analyze numbers and situations, and work tirelessly for my clients.
I hold an MBA from DePaul University and a BA in economics from Boston University. I am a Certified Financial Planner™ professional.* I hold numerous registrations including my Series 6, 7, 63 and 65, and hold an Illinois license for life and long-term care insurance. Previously, I worked in the financial services, consulting, insurance and technology industries. I led various marketing, financial analysis, and operations initiatives, and enjoyed time cultivating a small business.
Born and raised in Poughkeepsie, NY, I now make my home in Palatine, IL with my wife, Jacqueline, and my two daughters. I am also a member of Barrington Lions, DePaul Alumni Association, Boston University Alumni Association and Shedd Aquarium.
