Hello and welcome! I’m glad you’re here.
I’m on a mission to help families navigate the financial and life challenges that can often feel overwhelming. As a father of five married daughters, a grandfather of 17, and even a great-grandfather, I’ve seen firsthand how families can thrive despite financial stress, debt, and other life hurdles. My journey hasn’t been perfect — far from it. I’ve faced credit card debt, back taxes, and even bankruptcy, but I’ve also learned how to climb out of those pits, and I want to share that knowledge with you.
After 17 years as a Walmart Store Manager and time spent as a financial representative at Edward Jones, I realized that my true passion lies in helping families find practical, no-nonsense solutions to their financial struggles. I’ve seen too many people stressed about money, missing out on the joys of life. I believe it doesn’t have to be that way.
This blog is my way of giving back — not just to my own family but to a larger community of new and continuing families looking for guidance. Here, I’ll share advice on budgeting, debt management, saving for the future, and making the most of what you have. I’ll also dive into life lessons that can help you build a meaningful and balanced life, focusing on what truly matters.
My goal is simple: to help you avoid common financial pitfalls, reduce stress, and enjoy a better quality of life with your loved ones. I want to offer the support and knowledge I’ve gathered over the years to help you thrive. I believe in living in the moment, appreciating the little things, and understanding that money should be a tool to help you live your best life — not something that causes constant worry.
I’m excited to share this journey with you. Let’s work together to build a future where financial freedom and peace of mind are within reach for every family.
Thank you for joining me here!
