Edward Jones - Josh Sternberg

I grew up in the small mountain town of Whitmore, CA. I grew to have a love for the outdoors, riding motor cycles, climbing trees, fishing and hunting. I went to Whitmore elementary and Foothill High School, before attending UC Davis where I graduated with a BA in sociology. After graduating, I moved to Sacramento to work at a local rent-to-own company as the sales manager before deciding in 2003 to move back up to Shasta County to be closer to family and old friends. Once in Redding, I became the manager of a local sandwich shop before finding an opportunity with J&A Foods which owned many different restaurants throughout the state.

Over the next 15 years, I ran different restaurants for the company as a service manager, bar manager and GM. Working in the service industry taught me about the hard work and dedication needed to run a successful business. I loved the interaction I was able to do every day with the guests that came in to dine at my restaurants. I enjoyed getting to know more about them and their lives so that I could ensure we gave them the service to meet their needs.

When looking to change careers, I looked for a company that cared about the individual person and their needs. Edward Jones matched that ideal by asking every financial advisor to get to know their clients wants, needs and goals to ensure that the financial solutions offered were tailored to each specific family. I found the perfect fit for my new career and look forward to serving my clients with the same dedication to hard work and personalized service that I have strived for my whole career.
