be fascinating to talk to him (in
person) about things in the past and
the world of things.
PCT: If you had to do another job
than what you’re doing, what would
you do?
MP: I’ve often thought that if I had
been better at math I could have
been a doctor or an engineer. I am
best at solving problems and that
would work for either of those profes-
sions.
PCT: What is your impact to Parker
County?
MP: My wife and I bought our place
in Aledo in the mid-90s. We built
our family home and raised our
children here with both of them
attending public schools where they
were active in band and football.
My wife works in the community. I
have provided technical advice to
the Parker County District Attorney’s
Office on computer crimes, but they
got the hang of it pretty quick.
PCT: What is your definition of the
best day ever?
MP: Spending the day with my fami-
ly. Our children are now adults and it
can be difficult to pull it all together,
but occasionally it does happen and
if it is that with a little fishing, then
that’s a great day.

PCT: What’s the best piece of advice
you would give?
MP: Never ever give up on your
dreams. Be persistent, humble, and
recognize the people who made you
who you are and helped you along
the way and in turn, do that to others.
PCT: What is the most interesting
thing you have ever done in your
life?
MP: A blind date with a nursing
student 32 years ago who became
my wife.
PCT: How did you get into your
occupation?
JB: I married into a long standing,
local family real estate business.
Investing is about
more than money.
At Edward Jones, we stop to ask you
the question: “What’s important to
you?” Without that insight and a real
understanding of your goals, investing
holds little meaning.
Contact your Edward Jones fi nancial
advisor for a one-on-one appointment
to discuss what’s really important:
your goals.
