Financial Advisor Edward Jones

Since starting my career at Edward Jones in November of 2015, I have been helping families and businesses work toward achieving their financial goals thru personalized financial planning. As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I believe it’s important to invest my time understanding what you are working toward before you invest your money. Working closely with you and your CPA, attorney and other professionals, I can help determine the most appropriate financial strategy for you and your family. My desire is to provide education and understanding to you, giving you confidence about your retirement future. More importantly, I find satisfaction in walking with you thru some of your most important life events such as retirement, weddings, anniversaries, and estate planning.

My office is located in Fairfield, Ohio but we serve clients located in many other states, as well. We not only work with newly retired clients, but clients with a wide range of financial needs with different goals. We also serve owners with businesses needing help with their 401k plans.

Graduating from Danbury Highschool in northern Ohio I competed in various sports including at the state level. I received my bachelor’s degree from Kent State University. My work experience covers different levels of management in the retail market and food industry.

I reside in West Chester with my 2 children. Being dad to Mary Alice and William keeps me busy, but we always find time to be with other family members and friends usually playing outdoors; skiing, boating, hunting, swimming, snowmobiling or chasing our Labrador, Boone.

Giving back to my community has always been important to me. I have been involved with the Fairfield Chamber of Commerce and held many offices with my local Rotary Club. I also volunteer my time with the Joe Nuxhall Foundation charity.

My administrator, Jenny Kratzer, has been with Edward Jones since 2018. She served as second administrator in a branch near St Louis until February of 2022 when she assumed responsibility for my branch in Fairfield. She and her husband, Sam and their son, Jack reside in northern KY.

Jenny, and I strive each day to provide the most ideal client experience that we can. We are so fortunate to be able to serve the community and are eager to help more people. While the road may not always be easy, you can be assured that we will be by your side and on your team. We hope to become a trusted partner and lifelong friend to every person who walks through our door.

Project Manager Shamrock Restoration LLC

Born and raised in Liberty Township, I am a proud graduate of Lakota West.  After high school I attended the University of Cincinnati College of Business Administration, eventually earning a Bachelors in Business Administration (BBA) and Marketing.  I really enjoy being a part of the Shamrock Restoration team! This is due in large part to the fact that Shamrock is a family owned and operated company. We have team members experienced in all aspects of the restoration field (with an emphasis on insurance claims) and have the knowledge and experience to get the job done right.

I enjoy spending my free time outdoors hiking or fishing.  I have a passion for history, especially locally in and around Cincinnati. I am an avid collector of fossils (mainly invertebrates) and American Indian artifacts. I am a hard worker and believe that shoveling does not seem like so much work if there is something interesting at the bottom of the pit!
