I have been passionate about personal finance for as long as I can remember, and have been working for just as long.

I bought my first mutual fund at age 10. Personal finance is my obsession, through and through.

I spent my early years after college working as an analyst in banking and freelance writing.

My writing and quotes have appeared in a number of publications.

These include discussing smart time management with Forbes; avoiding burnout with Entrepreneur; tax tips for freelancers with USA Today; Social Security with U.S. News & World Report and Yahoo! Finance; and finding great discounts with HuffPost.

In 2013, I founded First Quarter Finance with the goal to help improve the finances of those in the first quarter of life.

FQF remains founder-led.

As Editor-in-Chief, I take an active role in shaping the website's content and editorial direction, and am dedicated to providing actionable information that can help people understand and more smartly manage their finances.

Fun facts about me:

I grew up on a Nebraska corn, soybean, and cattle farm.

I once had a speed limit reduced in my honor because the small town’s mayor thought I was driving too fast. I never broke the speed limit, the truck was just loud.

I’m obsessed with all things Tesla, Elon Musk, and the future of humanity on Earth and beyond.
