About

I am a family man, business owner, and author who has spent over five decades navigating the challenges of building wealth and creating financial independence. Together with my wife, Michele, we built a thriving business from the ground up—transforming shared dreams into lasting success.

For me, wealth isn’t just about numbers—it’s about freedom, opportunity, and creating a life of purpose and meaning.

Faith, Values, and the Power of Personal Responsibility

Rooted in faith, conservative principles, and a steadfast belief in personal responsibility and free markets, I see wealth-building as more than just a personal endeavor. It’s a means to empower others to create a better future for themselves and their families.

As a family man, I believe true wealth isn’t just financial—it’s the values, lessons, and opportunities we pass on to the next generation.

A Lifelong Learner, Thinker, and Doer

I’ve always had a relentless curiosity—challenging the status quo, questioning assumptions, and seeking practical paths to financial independence. My journey has been shaped by a deep commitment to learning, not just from books but from real-world experience, trial and error, and the wisdom of those who came before me.

Through this process, I’ve developed a practical, no-nonsense approach to success that combines strategic wealth-building, timeless financial principles, and the power of faith and values to create a fulfilling life.

• In Money’s Dirty Little Secrets, I uncover the hidden truths about money—how the game is rigged, and how to bend the rules in your favor.
• In The Grace Effect, I delve into how faith, integrity, and purpose-driven success bring deeper fulfillment beyond wealth itself.

True financial success isn’t just about making money—it’s about creating a life of meaning and impact. That’s why I write, teach, and share what I’ve learned. It’s not about theory—it’s about putting ideas into action.

From Nothing to Something: The Journey of Building Wealth

Starting with nothing but determination and a willingness to learn, I understand the realities of hard work, risk, and resilience.

I’ve made mistakes. I’ve had setbacks. But through persistence, adaptation, and independent thinking, I learned how to make money work for me instead of just working for money.

Now, through my writing, I hope to help others take control of their own financial future—not just for financial gain, but for the freedom to live life on their own terms.
