Previously employed by two of the former Big Six public accounting firms as a personal financial planner for the extremely affluent, he ultimately concluded he could make a big difference educating more normal people. From how to perform basic financial planning on one s own to becoming aware of those who prey on the ill-informed, Michael provides the necessary financial education our schools have consistently failed to provide.
