Our Message

I was raised on strong ideals that have guided my 40-year career in the wealth management industry. With my background as a financial advisor, branch manager and corporate executive, I have seen firsthand how these principles help foster a special bond between clients and financial advisors.

They are reflected within the mission of Benjamin F. Edwards, the privately-held company I named for my father, whose passion for client service and having fun have set the tone for our corporate culture.
