FAMILY FIRST
What's it all for? What's the point? Why do we dream of Financial Freedom? For me, it is to buy back time for my family so we can spend the best years of our lives together traveling the world and sharing experiences. This is enough to get me out of bed every morning -- still at 0330, just like it's always been! Find The One Thing that motivates you for greatness, and get after it!
BUILT ON A FOUNDATION OF SERVICE
I walked away from a six-figure salary and Wall Street career in order to serve my country and fight in the Global War on Terror. I am so glad I did -- but it came at a great financial cost. In fact, I never made as much in a year in the military as I did in my last year in banking back in my 20s. I have spent two decades "grinding" financially, and I sincerely believe that serving your country should not create financial pain and hardship. I created the Military Wealth Coach to share all the lessons -- the good and the bad -- with you so that you can live a life of service, without the financial hardship. It truly is possible in the U.S. military to live a life of "service and wealth."
MY STORY
I was raised by a carpenter and high school teacher in a small town of barely 1,000 people in Wisconsin. I dreamed of getting out of there, and chased degrees and big paychecks all the way to Wall Street. As I got older, I realized there was more to life than money, and left banking to commission as an officer in the United States Marine Corps. In the time since, I have continued to study investing, and in my final shore tour was a Senior Instructor of Economics at the U.S. Naval Academy. I believe the real power of money is it can buy back your time and freedom, and I'm committed to helping everyone in uniform achieve just that: Financial Freedom.
