Bio 

What I do: I help you reach financial independence. For free. Author: The Military Guide to Financial Independence & Retirement. I enjoy writing about personal finance and military programs for servicemembers, veterans, and their families. All of my writing revenue is donated to military charities chosen by contributors who share their advice & stories for the books and the blog. Never pursued civilian employment after the military.
