“When I served in the military, I sent money home each month because my family taught me that saving was a good thing to do. My dad began putting this in an IRA for me. When I returned home, Dad showed me the IRA and its growth. I knew right away that this was a job I could enjoy. I’ve always liked to research and learning new things. I started as an analyst and what attracted me to the industry is the continuous change. What keeps me engaged is the mix of creativity and detective work my job entails. I also love the diverse experiences that we all bring to PJS - It's just fun to work here! We are a family and I believe our clients sense that the minute we answer the phone.”
