I am an outdoor enthusiast. I love everything to do with being outside, but my favorite activities are snowboarding, boating, camping, and backpacking. I also love to read a good book, play the piano, binge watch a Netflix show, and spend time with my wife and daughter.Career wise, I spent six years in the accounting, financial, and retirement realms before I turned my attention to creating this website. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting in 2016. While I only took a few financial classes with my accounting degree, my finance smarts come from my dad, who taught me everything I needed to know about money when I was young boy. In fact, he had me investing my money in mutual funds before I was even 12! Through the years, I have learned other key life skills that have helped me become the man I am today.
