About Derek

My passion for investing started at a young age when a teacher mentioned the history of stock market returns. Since then, I have been interested in the investment world.

I graduated from Southern Illinois University with a bachelor's degree in finance in 1999 and began my career as a financial advisor with Edward Jones in 2000. I also hold the AAMS™ designation from the College for Financial Planning.

I really enjoy getting to know my clients on a personal level. I want to know your interests and what is important to you, so we can create a strategy to help...
