Edward Jones welcomes Farragut resident Cory J. Gerlach, a fanancial advisor, to its Farragut office at 11911 Kingston Pike, Suite 101-A.

“My family and I have lived in Farragut for 15 years, so I had a strong desire to work in the Farragut community,” said Gerlach, who has been with Edward Jones for nine months. ”Edward Jones was looking to add financial advisors in Farragut, so I was fortunate to be placed in Farragut.
“The office that I am working out of has been open for more than eight years and belongs to financial advisor Laura Mollenhour,” he added. “At Edward Jones, our key focus areas include helping individuals and families with retirement savings strategies, retirement income strategies, college savings, divorce finances, estate and legacy strategies and insurance and annuities.”

“I am excited to have the opportunity to serve and give back to people in the Farragut community,” he said. “I work diligently to understand what’s important to individuals and families, use an established process to build personalized strategies to help them achieve their goals, and then partner with them throughout their lifetime to keep them on track to reach their goals,” Gerlach said.
He attended college in his home state of Minnesota, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology and minored in business management at Moorhead State University. He later earned a Master of Business Administration degree, with a concentration in finance, from St. Cloud State University.
