About Ben Trostad

Throughout my life, helping others has been an integral part of who I am. I chose a career in financial services because I believe I can make a difference in the lives of families in my community. At Edward Jones, we strive to make sure clients feel heard, and that we understand their unique story. We also work to help clients understand the investment world in terms they can relate to. I graduated from Crookston High School in 2018 and decided to maintain my ties to Crookston, as I pursued a degree from the University of Minnesota Crookston. I was a multi-sport athlete for the Golden Eagles, participating in Men\'s Ice Hockey and Men\'s Golf. In 2022, I graduated from the University of Minnesota Crookston with a bachelor\'s degree in finance and a minor in marketing. Immediately out of college, I pursued a banking position in Detroit Lakes, MN, where I resided for two years. Recently, I was given the opportunity to come back and serve the community that has given so much to my family and I over the course of my lifetime. Let\'s just say that this was the easiest decision of my life. I could not be more honored to have the ability to lend a helping hand to individuals and families in the place that means so much to me. Beyond the office, I enjoy maintaining an active lifestyle whether it be working out, surfing, golfing or playing hockey. I also enjoy spending quality time with my ever-expanding family at the lake during the summer months.If you would like to connect, feel free to reach out to me. b••••••••@edwardjones.com
