FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 23, 2026 – St. Louis-based wealth management firm Benjamin F. Edwards recently opened its newest location in Elizabethton, TN, its fourth location in the state, which also includes existing offices in Chattanooga, Germantown and Morristown. Opening the new office are Managing Director-Investments Jonathan Street and Senior Financial Client Associate Patti Whitson.

“We are pleased to welcome Jonathan and Patti to the Edwards family,” said Tad Edwards, chairman and CEO of Benjamin F. Edwards. “We are also excited to expand our presence in Tennessee with our first location in Elizabethton.”

A third-generation resident of the Elizabethton area, Jonathan was born and raised in the community, where he had worked at Edward Jones since 2015. Following high school, he served as a U.S. Marine, including a deployment during the Iraq War, before returning home and earning a bachelor’s degree from East Tennessee State University.

Jonathan’s approach to investing is grounded in the relationships he builds with clients and the trust they place in him. His focus areas include retirement planning and income strategies, wealth, estate and legacy strategies, business retirement plans, and serving military professionals and veterans.

Patti enjoys helping clients and values the trust they place in her as someone they know and can depend on. She is deeply involved in the Elizabethton community, serving as vice president of Main Street Elizabethton and chair of its merchant committee.

Edwards continues to expand its presence across the U.S. by adding experienced advisors to its full-service and independent business platforms.
