Edward Jones

Throughout our lives, we take on various roles that help define who we are. In my case, I have had the privilege of serving as a financial advisor, author, marathoner, cancer survivor and caregiver. I have spent the past 25 years helping families achieve their financial goals. After graduating from Southern Illinois University with a Bachelor of Arts in political science, I joined Edward Jones in 1998. During my tenure, I served in many leadership positions within the firm. In 2018, I became a regional leader for the Chicago western suburbs, overseeing 58 branch teams serving thousands of families. I became a general partner with Edward Jones in 2020. I take a very personalized approach to financial advising. My branch team includes Joyce Marzo. We take the time to learn what is important to our clients and I tailor a strategy to help them achieve their goals. Together we are committed to providing our clients and business partners exceptional service. In my practice, I typically work with three generations of families, helping them navigate life's financial challenges. As a marathoner, I have completed multiple races, including the Chicago Marathon, and I have found that the discipline and focus required for long-distance running has helped me in other areas of my life. As a cancer survivor and caregiver, I have gained valuable insights into the challenges that life can throw our way. These experiences have taught me the importance of perseverance, empathy and proactive planning, and I bring these values to my work as a financial advisor. When I am not wearing my professional hat, I enjoy spending time with my family. I am married to Enrique, and together we have two children, Sofia and Andy. Our family also includes a lovable Great Pyrenees named Ellie. One of our favorite ways to unwind is by spending time at our family cabin in NW Wisconsin, where we can disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life and enjoy the beauty of nature.

St. Barnabas Episcopal Church

St. Barnabas is hosting the “Uncaged Art” exhibit, on loan to the Sanctuary Task Force by the Diocese of San Joaquin.&nbsp;The exhibit is free and open to the public this coming Friday, May 8th, from 10am - 12pm and 5:30pm - 6:30pm. It will also be open on Sunday, May 10th from 12pm - 1pm.&nbsp;
“Uncaged Art” showcases artwork by children held in the&nbsp;<a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/tornillo-texas-tent-camp-housed-thousands-migrant-children/story?id=60319788" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Tornillo Detention Center</a>&nbsp;in Texas between June 2018 and January 2019.&nbsp;
Their resilient works of art were born&nbsp;of sadness while they stayed at the Tornillo immigrant detention center in El Paso, Texas, in 2018 and 2019. The artists, migrant children ages 13 to 17, were separated from their families and housed for nearly a year in the makeshift tent city.
When the detention center closed and officials began throwing out the artwork, a Catholic priest recovered 29 pieces, which comprise the exhibit.
The Uncaged Art exhibit now traveling in Chicago includes photos of the children's artwork. The originals are being kept safe at University of Texas at El Paso.
