Edward Jones Financial Advisor Wins Award for Outstanding Performance

Gardner, KS - Pete Carr of Edward Jones recently won the firm's coveted Zeke McIntyre Pioneer Award, which recognizes new financial advisors who achieve high levels of success early in their careers with the financial services firm. Carr was one of only 318 of the firm's more than 15,000 financial advisors to receive the award.

Carr received the award at the Edward Jones Region 36 regional meeting in Camdenton, Missouri.

Jim Weddle, the firm's managing partner, said the award is a strong indicator of a financial advisor's future success.
"We recruit and hire our financial advisors from among the best, so we expect them to do well," Weddle said. "But to achieve such success early in his career with Edward Jones is outstanding, and I commend Pete for his performance and dedication."

The award is named after Edward Jones legend Zeke McIntyre, who opened the firm's first branch office in 1957 in Mexico, Mo.

Carr is currently refurbishing an office space in downtown Baldwin City, where is expected to set up an Edward Jones office.
