Background

About Mitchell Rivers

I grew up in the small town of Beeville, Texas, with a father who worked on offshore oil rigs and a stay-at-home mother who had a small business painting signs. I learned from my parents' business sense as they worked a plan to acquire their first rental home, renovate it themselves and build on from there. We may not have had much excess, but growing up in a hardworking, blue collar, small town instilled in me an unwavering work ethic and showed me the importance of family, faith and community.

It also made me the man, husband, father and friend I am today. I began my career path at my Grandpa's business, Pendley's Appliance, working throughout high school before heading on to Texas A&M-Kingsville where I would earn my business degree and meet my wife, Cari.

I began my career at Edward Jones in 2007 and became a limited partner with them in 2015. Since then, I have been able to help countless families. Most share a similar story; they came from dirt in rural Texas and have financially achieved more than they ever thought possible. For them, they need more than just investment advice – they need a fully integrated personalized approach. It has been the perfect fit for my family, my clients and my values. Today, my wife, Cari, and I have two children, Micah and Mikayla. We love to travel and have different experiences, so our children understand how blessed and fortunate we truly are as a family. When I do have some quiet time, I’m an avid reader and passionate about strength training and craft beer (not necessarily in that For instructions to opt out of Edward Jones commercial messaging and other important disclosures, see
