Troy joined the financial industry in 1992 and provides financial advice to all age groups and account sizes. He leverages more than 30 years of experience to develop a portfolio of investments tailored to the individual based on their risk tolerance and time horizon.

Troy graduated from Truman State University with a BA in Speech Communications. Upon completing his studies, he found that many of his friends and family did not have a good understanding of the financial world. This drove him to pursue further education in the industry and used his communications degree to educate others about financial matters that can make an impact in all aspects of their lives.

Troy lives in Kirksville, Missouri, with his wife, Paula. They have four adult children that are making their way in their chosen careers as a golf pro, nurse, lawyer, and farm manager. An avid nature lover, Troy serves as Vice President of the Pure Air Wildlife Management Cooperative and is focused on restoring his family farm in Adair County to create a habitat for wildlife mammals, birds, pollinators, and native flowers.
