About Your Coach
I’m a husband, a father of 3, and a veteran. I met my wife Tamar in San Diego in 2008 and we were married in 2011. I was stationed there with the Coast Guard and she was a pharmacy resident at Naval Medical Center San Diego. We welcomed our first child in 2014, our second in 2016 and our third in 2019. I spent 12 years in the Coast Guard, and during that time we moved around a lot. I was stationed in Alaska, San Diego, Seattle, Jacksonville (FL) and Virginia Beach, and we’ve now settled in Cincinnati. Tamar and I decided when we were married that we would live off of just my salary. This was due to the fact that we knew we would be moving frequently, but there was no guarantee Tamar would always be able to find work. By capping our lifestyle at my salary, we ensured that we would be fine if she wasn’t working. This has the added benefit of producing a high savings rate when Tamar WAS working, and by 2013 we were debt free. We paid off more than $60,000 in student loan debt and $20,000 in auto loans in two and a half years!
This isn’t to say that we haven’t made financial mistakes along the way. It took us way too long to learn how to make our money work for us. When I lived in Alaska I bought a truck from a friend using a personal loan, didn’t bother to get it insured right away, and promptly totaled it on a patch of black ice a week after buying it. Everyone makes financial mistakes. But it’s important to remember that past financial mistakes don’t dictate your financial FUTURE. Your life is a movie, not a painting. If you’re not satisfied with your current financial situation, you can change it!
I have a passion for teaching and helping people. I also have a passion for personal finance. These two passions combine perfectly in the form of Financial Coaching! I have completed Dave Ramsey's Financial Coach Master Training (click here to view my certificate)
and am a Ramsey Preferred Financial Coach.
