Darren Parent, CFS®

After building more than 20 years of experience in financial services, I decided to join Edward Jones in January 2019. What drew me to a career here was the culture and environment they created for their clients and their employees. The amount of personalized care and attention that is given to each client is unsurpassed in this industry. I have worked in insurance and investments for some of the largest insurance companies and brokerage firms in the country. Through these experiences, I know that I am in the right place, and Edward Jones has given me all the tools and support to make a real difference in the lives of clients. As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I believe it's important to invest my time in understanding what you're working toward before you invest your money. It's also important to understand the level of risk you're comfortable accepting when investing, so we can balance it with the steps necessary to help you reach long term goals. I am inspired every single day by the people I'm so lucky to work with and meet. I strive each day to provide the most ideal client experience that I can. I am so fortunate to be able to serve the community, and I'm eager to help more people. On a personal note, my wife, Denise, and I have been Sturbridge, MA residents for 19 years. We have three children, Sean, Lauren and Steven. We spend all the time we can together as a family. Some of our favorite activities/hobbies are alpine skiing, scuba diving, camping, hiking and golf. My education includes a Masters of Business Administration from Nichols College in Dudley, MA and a bachelor's degree from Becker College in Worcester, MA. At Edward Jones, we use an established process to help you build personalized strategies to help you reach your goals. Let us show you how we can make a difference.
