I have always considered myself a helper. The first stop on my professional journey was as a Police Officer in Texas.
It was in this position I worked diligently to develop relationships using a “community policing” philosophy where trust and understanding are critical, as they are similarly essential in financial planning. In this role, I also realized I had a knack for finance, as I often found myself helping colleagues understand how the retirement plan worked and what to consider to maximize their benefit options.
After I retired, I went to college to earn a bachelor’s degree in Finance from the University of Texas at Dallas. I met Josh and Clint and found folks who not only share my values but also already had a system in place that could support me in helping others. Joining that team was a case of the right people at the right time.
Outside of finance, I like to bicycle and travel with my wife (We met in 1995). I love animals! Our cat, Goose Jonesy McMurder Mittens, is our sole furry companion for the moment. You can also find me in spaces that promote policies that make the world a better and kinder place. I enjoy puns of all stripes and encourage their frequent use as we work together.
Let's meet and see how I can help you on your journey.
