I have been in the service industry for many years. I started sweeping warehouses in the family moving business when I was in junior high school to start saving money. My grandfather, a World War II veteran and entrepreneur, started the family business back in 1964. I witnessed my grandfather and father, who now runs the family business, work extremely hard to provide for our family as well as serve in our community.
My mother, a successful business woman herself, was another fantastic influence. While managing the human resources side of some top companies in Monterey County, she found spare time between work and raising two kids, to give back to the community by teaching at the local junior college as well as teaching Leadership Salinas.
With these fantastic influences in my life, I found my way to Edward Jones, where I can continue that legacy by serving the community as a financial advisor, helping people reach their financial goals as well as volunteering my time in the community.
I am a member of the Rotary Club of Redding and Business Networking International as well as a volunteer coach and board member of the Redding Youth Soccer League. I am also a member of Leadership Redding’s Class of 2020.
When I’m not working and volunteering my time, I am spending it with my daughter and son exploring the beauty the North State has to offer.
My senior branch office administrator, Christina Baker, has 14 years of experience and is dedicated to providing you with the highest level of service possible. Please don’t hesitate to call on her with questions concerning your statement, dividends, stock certificates or your account in general.
