I chose a career in financial services because I believe I can make a difference in the lives of families in my community. At Edward Jones, we offer investments, services and tools our clients need to work toward their financial future. In addition, the firm has thousands of professionals and advanced technology supporting our branch offices to help clients reach their long-term financial goals. Born and raised in Central, I graduated from Central High School where I played football and basketball and was a 2020 inductee into the school's Hall of Fame. University, where I was a 4-year letterman in football and played on the basketball and golf teams. I graduated from McNeese with a Bachelor of Science degree and then earned a Master of Education degree from the University of Southern Mississippi. Before Edward Jones, I retired from education after 30 years as a teacher, coach, principal and school district superintendent. Although that work was enjoyable and extremely rewarding, the call came to help others in a different way. My wife, Jodie, and I have two children and three grandchildren. Our son, Tyler, is a coach and teacher, his wife Danielle, is a nurse, and they have three children. Our daughter, Kellie, is an esthetician and owns her own studio. Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with family, traveling, speaking and playing golf. I enjoy partnering with individual investors to develop strategies together to meet specific goals. Whether it is reviewing individual investments, planning for retirement, saving for children or grandchildren, or just trying to protect the financial future of the ones that we care for the most, we take the time to identify each goal and develop the strategy to address it. We believe in the value of relationships and are committed to partnering with our clients to help them accomplish their financial goals. Meeting face to face builds strong relationships and we will meet with you when it is most convenient for you.
