About me

I've worn many hats over the years, and strive to let my writing reflect the breadth of all this experience.

I currently split my time between a number of ventures:

*I'm a Certified Financial Planner and oversee a financial planning practice.

* I'm a public speaker, working with companies like Disney, Verizon, and Toyota to educate employees about personal finance issues.

* I'm pursuing my education / licensure as a Marriage and Family Therapist in California and oversee a pastoral counseling agency.

*I officiate non-denominational weddings in the Southern California area.

Also of note, I recently won the "Mentor of the Year Award" from the Investment News for working with Young Life International.
