ABOUT STEPHEN

Growing up, I knew that if I wanted something, I had to work for it. From working at the family business, the local gym and finally finding my first "office" job as a teenager, I always appreciated the value of a dollar. Balancing the budget became a monthly ritual. I was certain that if I planned and saved accordingly, my goals would be within reach.


Eventually, fate took me to Oakland University, where I earned both my bachelor's and master's degrees in accounting, and ultimately became a CPA. As with many hard workers in Metro Detroit, my career steered me towards the automotive industry, where I was blessed to have the opportunity to serve in multiple leadership roles. While I thoroughly enjoyed these experiences, I sorely missed the fulfillment of working with individual clients. I chose Edward Jones because of our commitment to deeply serving the individual investor. While financial strategies can be intimidating, I am not. I will partner with you throughout your lifetime, and if life takes a turn, I will go above and beyond because I genuinely care about my clients.


On a personal note, I am a proud graduate of Brother Rice High School. I have lived in Commerce Township since 2007 and love this area so much that my wife, Jenae, and I bought a home here when we got married in 2017. Together, we have three children: Celeste, Joshua and Anastasia. Our Sundays are split between St. Patrick Catholic Church in White Lake and St. Thomas Chaldean Catholic Church in West Bloomfield.


My cornerstone is my faith, family and friends. Outside of the office, you will find me spending time outdoors with my family on one of Commerce Township's many trails. If you would like a personal review or a second opinion of your financial situation on a complimentary basis, please do not hesitate to reach out to set up a time for us to meet. I look forward to helping you reach your financial goals!
