Former Rockdale County Sheriff Office (RCSO) Deputy, Jason Witcher, announced today that he has opened an Edward Jones office in Conyers, GA at The Corner Market (1795 Parker Rd, SE, Suite E110). Witcher has been working with retiring Financial Advisor Elly Dalton to serve investors throughout the Lithonia, Conyers, and Covington area.

“I have really enjoyed working with Elly these past several months,” said Witcher. “I’ve had all the advantages of working with an experienced investment professional while getting to know local investors. This has been a tremendous opportunity to increase my investment knowledge and hone my customer service skills. I can’t thank Elly enough for all she has done for me, and I’m looking forward to opening my own office.”

Elly said, “When Jason joined my office, the goal was to help me provide the level of service investors have come to expect from Edward Jones while extending our services to additional investors. Jason has proved himself more than capable of doing so. I’m going to enjoy watching him build a successful business of his own.”

Jim Weddle, managing partner of the St. Louis−based financial services firm, said the firm wants to extend its reputation for unparalleled client service to the Atlanta area, which is why Witcher is opening the office.

“Jason has proved that he possesses the characteristics we want in our Edward Jones financial advisors,” Jim Weddle said. “Jason knows how to help clients invest to help meet their financial goals, and he has the dedication and enthusiasm it takes to do the job right. We are confident that Jason will continue his exceptional record in the east metro Atlanta area.”
