Ed is in the business of helping people pursue their dreams and goals, and financial planning is just the vehicle used to provide that opportunity. The reality is, most dreams have a financial component. Whether someone dreams of buying a new car, retiring early, or spending more time pursuing a passion, a financial plan is necessary if the dream is to be accomplished.
Client’s dreams and goals provide a rare insight into their philosophy about life and money, and in turn, empower Ed to manage their money more effectively to increase the possibility of attaining those dreams and goals.
Ed has worked as a financial professional for over three decades, in roles from Registered Representative to Branch Manager to President of his own firm. All these experiences have taught Ed that everyone he works with is unique and deserving of a financial plan specifically designed to work toward their goals. Firmly believing that learning should never stop, Ed takes every opportunity he can to increase his knowledge to better serve his clients. He takes this belief in education and applies it to his clients as well, taking time to make sure they understand the actions and strategies that make up their plan.
Ed graduated from Southeast Missouri State University with a degree in Economics with an emphasis in Finance. He holds the series 63, 65, 7, 8, 24 Registrations through LPL Financial as well as life and health insurance licenses.

My family and I enjoy the great outdoors and love to go camping, and just being outdoors.
