Intro
In the world of business, unexpected twists often pave the path to greatness. Such is true of the Edward Jones Investment Company. In 1922, Edward D. Jones Sr. faced a pivotal moment when, after brokering a deal, he received an unexpected offer of "nothing" as compensation. Undeterred by this setback, he charted a new course, establishing his own firm just down the road. Driven by a deep commitment to exceptional customer care, Jones cultivated a culture founded on genuine concern for both clients and colleagues. This dedication fueled the rapid growth of his enterprise, a testament to the power of resilience and integrity in the face of adversity. Through three exemplary advisors in our community, this enduring commitment to excellence continues to shape the firm's legacy.
Madison Duxbury:
Investing, by its nature, is taking a leap of faith. Madison has spent her entire life deeply rooted in faith and family, finding joy in helping others achieve their financial goals for themselves and their families. Her relationship with financial advising runs deep; her father was a financial advisor, and she grew up watching him assist his clients. Madison found the combination of strategic investment planning and relationship building to be exactly what she hoped for. After graduating college, she joined Edward Jones, establishing her own office in 2016 upon returning to her home state of Texas with her husband. She strives to stay ahead of the game by constantly learning and expanding her knowledge of current events in the financial sector, ensuring she provides her clients with the best advice possible. The many heartfelt letters she has received from clients are a testament to her success thus far. Madison hopes to leave a legacy of being a genuinely caring person who used her financial knowledge to help individuals achieve their dreams.
Jim Carranza:
The world of Finance was no stranger to Jim when he first joined Edwards Jones upon the recommendation of a good friend. With 18 years spent in the industry, he was eager for a new challenge and the opportunity to help others understand their finances and achieve their financial goals. One of his favorite moments is witnessing a client's “Aha!” moment when everything he has taught them clicks in their mind. He thoroughly enjoys being able to pass on his wisdom and guiding others toward financial achievements they may not have thought possible. Jim values building long-term relationships with clients who return repeatedly, but he also relishes new challenges. By approaching his job with a genuine desire to help others, clients feel his sincerity through the advice he shares, knowing that he genuinely wants to see them achieve their financial dreams, whether it's early retirement or buying a new home. Fortunately, his years of experience, coupled with knowledge and foresight, enable him to assist many who are uncertain about managing their money going forward.
Cameron Hayes:
There are many paths that lead people to a career in finance, though some are more circuitous than others. Cameron Hayes, for example, began his career by enlisting in the Army after witnessing the horrors of 9/11. He then attended officer training in the U.S. Naval Academy and served twelve years in the Navy. During his time, he also graduated from Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary with an M.A. in Pastoral Counseling. After completing his service with the Navy, Cameron sought a way to blend his desire to serve others and his ethical beliefs into a new career. Upon discovering Edward Jones, he thoroughly investigated their business ethos and practices and felt very much at peace with their commitment to protecting and serving their customers. Cameron himself had experienced significant financial difficulties due to poor decisions in his youth and had hired a financial advisor at the time to help him get back on his feet. This experience fueled his strong desire to assist others in similar situations, as well as to help financially stable individuals grow their wealth to achieve financial freedom. Alongside his dedication to financial advising, Cameron also enjoys sharing great Dad jokes.
