People and projects have always been a passion in my life. Being an Edward Jones financial advisor is a perfect way to fulfill that passion while providing financial guidance and a strategy for a client’s future.
Pam and I are long time Ypsilanti community residents. I graduated from Ypsilanti Public Schools and EMU. A few years into the design business, I took up the challenge to start franchises for Domino’s Pizza in central Ohio. After getting the area established, we returned to Ypsilanti when an opportunity arose to become the merchandise manager at a major furniture store in Ann Arbor. Soon, I realized I missed the deeper relationships and project nature of the design side of that industry, and we reopened our design business. Finally, Edward Jones has given me an opportunity to extend my passion for people and a new challenge, as well.
Pam and I enjoy traveling, camping, boating, mountain biking and of course, people. Most of all, we enjoy spending time with our four children, 13 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
