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.

Our Voices, Our Minds: Bipoc Youth Navigating Discrimination In Education

Grab your friends and head to Downtown Downers Grove on Thursday, September 24, for Ladies Day &amp; Night Out: Schools Just Wanna Have Funds, a full day of shopping, dining and fun with the bonus of supporting local elementary school PTAs!
Throughout the day and evening, 30 participating Downtown Downers Grove businesses will offer specials, promotions, live music, fun and more. Shoppers and diners can turn in a Hall Pass with their purchases, and participating businesses will donate 10% of each Hall Pass purchase to Downers Grove elementary school PTAs.
The donations will be divided evenly among participating schools, but there’s a little friendly competition, too!
The school with the highest attendance will receive an additional $250 donation, while the second- and third-place schools will each receive $100 in Downtown Downers Grove Gift Cards.
Every person counts toward attendance, and every qualifying purchase helps increase the donation. Participants are encouraged to invite friends, grandparents, spouses, neighbors and anyone else who wants to enjoy a day &amp; evening downtown while supporting local schools.
This event is a great example of what supporting local is all about. You are supporting our downtown businesses while those businesses, in turn, are giving back to our local schools. It’s a fun day with a real community impact.
Participants should remember to turn in a Hall Pass with each purchase to ensure the purchase counts toward the fundraiser and their school’s attendance.
Whether stopping downtown for lunch, meeting friends for shopping, enjoying dinner or making an entire day of it, Ladies Day &amp; Night Out: Schools Just Wanna Have Funds offers plenty of reasons to shop, dine and explore Downtown Downers Grove.
For participating businesses, Hall Passes and additional event information, visit downtowndg.org.
