Ben's passion for teaching and empowering others in personal finance was ignited during his time as a young Officer in the U.S. Army. While studying business in college, he encountered the concepts of compound interest and long-term investing, but it wasn't until he witnessed the real-world consequences of financial illiteracy that everything clicked into place. Working closely with Soldiers facing financial challenges, Ben realized the pervasive lack of financial education among adults, including himself, and the need to address this gap from an early age. Transitioning into a consulting career with a leading Tech Company after leaving the Army, Ben continued to channel his coaching and mentoring skills to drive revenue and assist individuals in achieving financial success. Simultaneously, he embarked on creating the first series of children's books centered around personal finance. His ultimate goal is to equip the next generation with the knowledge and skills to become more financially savvy than he ever could be, and he warmly invites you to join him on this transformative journey.
