I grew up in the rural Minnesota farming community of Staples. When I was a young teenager, I remember sitting with my parents as they met with their financial advisor. When I was 18 my father encouraged me to begin my own investing journey. I still remember hearing my dad's words and advice stressing the importance of saving and planning. 

I have always had a strong passion and fascination of caring for people through sound financial strategies. Now that I am serving clients as a financial advisor here at Edward Jones, I am able to utilize that passion to find out what is most important to each client and then use our established process to come up with a personalized strategy to help achieve each and every one of their goals.

My wife, Melinda, and I are raising our two children here in the Brained Lakes area. Being a father for the past 20 years has taught me the value of both perspective and humility! There are few aspects of life more important than family. Watching our kids grow and being a part of their lives is more rewarding than I could ever have imagined. 

As my lifelong desire for learning continues, I earned the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification in May 2021. I completed my CEPA® designation in November 2022. In 2023, I earned both my ChFC® and ABFP™ designations. These credentials enable me to better serve clients while partnering with them for their lifetimes to achieve their financial goals.

Chris Lindberg, Branch Office Administrator, has been my business partner serving clients since 2011. Chris grew up in Aitkin, MN. She and her husband, Tim, live near Crosby.

Our Crosby, MN, branch team focuses on partnering for life with clients who value complete financial strategy services. Our objective is to take the extra time that others won't in order to get to know our clients. We strive to completely understand what is most important by using our established process to develop a personalized strategy for every client to help them achieve their goals.
