Jeff is an Acorn super fan. Over the years he has attended numerous events and became a sustaining donor.

He was raised in Niles, Illinois, immersed in the entrepreneurial spirit of his parents, who successfully ran a family dry cleaners for 50 years. From them, he learned the importance of hard work, discipline, commitment to community, and the value of a hard-earned dollar—principles that have guided him throughout his life and my 30-plus-year career at Edward Jones.

In 1990, he graduated from Northern Illinois University and began his career at Edward Jones. His practice is just blocks away from the home where he was raised, as well as his current residence. His family includes his wife, whom he met on the "L" over 30 years ago, a daughter, Alison, with a master’s degree from Loyola University, and a son, Michael, who graduated from Butler University and is now part of his branch team.

Outside of work, he enjoys attending concerts, cooking and traveling— activities he loves to share with his wife and children. Whether it's attending live music events, experimenting with new recipes or exploring new destinations around the world, we create lasting memories and lifelong learning.
