About the Author

Richard M. Gutkowski is a caring parent, educator and successful survivor of his daughter's college experience - the time period of anticipating, pursuing and paying for a college education. It started with her heartfelt desire to be accepted into an academic program at a college that best fit her career endeavor and the family's financial means. It ended when all the costs of that education had been paid. His work experience includes four decades of teaching and advising college students. As a professor, teaching and advising young people was a large part of his heart beat. His endearing commitment was to helping them hone their technical talents and launch professional careers. He also managed research and grant budgets totaling millions of dollars. He transferred his highly developed professional fiscal skills and tools into managing his family's home finances. Over time discipline, wise financial decision-making, astute financing principles and strategic borrowing methods became his forte. Now retired, it was with that same vigor and caring that the ageless professor undertook developing a valuable guide for young people and their parents to use in managing debt matters as they move toward and through their college experience. He believes parents and their child must team in the development of and use of the resources necessary to complete the experience. Richard resides in Fort Collins, Colorado. He earned B.S and M.S. degrees in civil engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, a PhD from the University of Wisconsin, Madison and is an Emeritus Professor at Colorado State University. He wrote STRUCTURES: Fundamental Theory and Behavior and 167 refereed technical papers and reports. He reviews journal articles and grant applications in his field for publishers and agencies world-wide. The second published book in his financial series is sub-titled THE CAR FINANCING EXPERIENCE.
