A STORY 40 YEARS
IN THE MAKING

OUR STORY

In 1981, Paul Barber opened the first Edward Jones office in Nacogdoches, Texas. Little did he know the impact he and our family would have on thousands of families in East Texas and around the country. We’re proud of our legacy of delivering excellence to clients and are committed to continuing that pursuit for the next 40 years and beyond. 

God. Family. Country. These are our family’s values. Unfortunately, these beliefs are under attack and becoming all too uncommon in Corporate America today. In order to preserve and protect our values and 40 years of heritage, we made the move to independence in 2023. 

As a fee-only, independent, registered investment advisor (RIA), we are able to advise on a breadth of topics without constraints from technology or capacity limitations. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and recruiting like-minded advisors to share in the work, we’re focused on making a positive difference in the lives of countless families for years to come.

CLIENT FAQs

Our business is rooted in Christian family values and has developed a reputation for exceeding our clients’ expectations. Recently, it became clear to us that a significant change was necessary to preserve our business’s legacy and reputation for excellence. That change was to create our own RIA (Registered Investment Advisor) firm.
