Zach Baggenstos is a financial advisor at Edward Jones. One of my favorite things as a financial advisor is helping someone understand something about their finances for the first time. I believe anyone is capable of understanding their investments and taking an active role in their financial future. I love helping people cut away the fluff and lay out a clear path forward to meet their financial goals. I have been helping people do this for the last four plus years based out of Kent. I grew up in the area and am married with five kids and about fifty farm animals. My family and I love working outside around our property and garden.
