Students will learn and understand how to manage money and build wealth in order to set themselves up for successful financial futures. We will do this by examining all of the major topics in personal finance including but not limited to debt, investing, giving, taxes, and budgeting.  Students will seek to apply the knowledge that they gain through a wide variety of activities including setting financial goals, building a budget, and setting plans for investing and retirement.

I have a Master of Business Administration.  I have 3 years of experience teaching business, economics, and finance classes at the Junior/Career college level, in addition to 3 years of classroom experience teaching middle and high school students, and 1 year of experience as an elementary & middle school principal.    Finally, I have 4 four years experience as a National Football League Players Association Certified Contract Advisor, during which time I negotiated contracts, as well as helped to educate my clients as to the proper ways to prepare themselves for financial independence after their sports careers had ended.  It is this same passion to help young people build financial security and freedom that I enables me to guide students.  Additionally, I hold my certificate to teach the Dave Ramsey "Foundations in Personal Finance for High School Students" course.
