CAM JONES
November 20th, 1980, was a day the people of Louisiana would never forget. The setting was Lake Peigneur, a 1300-acre lake which at the time was only about 11 feet deep. The Texaco Oil Company was drilling for oil when suddenly they noticed the drill to their oil rig got stuck. When they determined they couldn't set the drill free, the workers decided to abandon the rig and it's a good thing they did. Within minutes, a large whirlpool started to form, and it kept getting bigger and bigger. Before long, the large whirlpool started sucking everything into the lake. The drilling platform, 70 acres of soil, trucks, boats, and trees all disappeared into the lake. In fact, the force was so strong, it reversed the flow of a 12-mile-long canal leading into the Gulf of Mexico and pulled 11 barges into the lake. Millions of dollars in damages and entire landscapes and ecosystems forever changed. All of this happened because the engineers on the oil rig had not properly aligned the drill to the correct coordinates and had drilled into a salt mine.
As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioner, my job is to partner with you to help ensure the financial drill to your life is properly aligned to the correct coordinates, so we avoid the salt mines. Whether you're navigating your way to or through retirement, preparing yourself to sell your business, or simply wanting to make sure what you're doing makes sense, our practice is designed to help ensure you have confidence in your financial strategy at all times.
Our team includes Senior Branch Office Administrator, Chelsea Heckel, as well as numerous Edward Jones associates who specialize in different areas to support our office. In addition, I welcome the opportunity to work with your tax and legal professionals as I believe the best financial strategies include collaboration to ensure nothing is in conflict or makes you become the messenger between professionals.
My wife, Katie, and I are both graduates and former athletes of South Dakota State University. We have two kids, Lincoln (4) and McKenna (1), as well as a loving dog named Kyah. When not in the office, I enjoy spending time with my family, golfing, exercising and of course, cheering on the Jackrabbits!
