​Q:  How long have you been with Edward Jones?
A:  I started with the company in March 2014.

Q:  How long have you been a Chamber Ambassador?
A:  I became a Chamber Ambassador in January 2016.

Q:  What do you like about being an ambassador? 
A:  I like being connected to the many successful professionals and businesses in our community.  We each make an impact on our community and we are all working toward a common goal of seeing Saginaw prosper.  I believe the Chamber of Commerce is where a lot of the magic is happening.

Q:  Tell us a little about yourself. 
A:  I was born and raised in the Detroit area.  I went to school at Michigan State University for business.  I moved to New Jersey after graduation with my (now wife) Kristen.  We enjoyed the east coast life for three years before moving back home to start a family.  We now have Makenna (11) and Ethan (9) and our dog Lola.  

Q:  What was your first job? 
A: My first job was a paperboy delivering the Macomb Daily newspaper on my bicycle.  I thought I was rich!!  I was the only 12 year old with a job and I loved it.  

Q:  What worries keep you up at night? 
A: There is very little I don’t worry about.  You name it! 

Q:  What is your greatest achievement?
A: Sometimes just making it to tomorrow is a great accomplishment!  However, here is a better answer.  I decided one day to start raising money for the Wounded Warrior Project by committing to run 50 miles.  People often asked “Why?”  I still don’t have a better answer than “Why not?”  Anyway, it took a full year to train and a lot of time fundraising.  In the end I raised over $6,000 and ran 53.5 miles in one day.   

Q:  What is your most prized possession? 
A:  My family.  Not exactly a possession but certainly can’t live without them.   

Q:  What is something unique in your office?
A:  My kids’ artwork.  I have lots of grade school art projects and other treasures on display. 

Q:  What is your favorite Michigan travel location? 
A:  Young State Park in Boyne City.  My wife’s family camps for a week in June every year.  The group has grown to more than 30 people, definitely the highlight of the summer.
