About me

The blog name "The Money Beast" may seem strange. However, to my family and family friends, it makes perfect sense. Since I can remember, my family has called me "Beast". My parents haven't called me by my given name for as long as I can remember (well, my Mom sometimes calls me Bren), my brother doesn't KNOW my given name and his son's call me Uncle Beast. Why I have this name, I really don't know. Maybe it was the mud baths I took as a 3 year old or maybe it's because I grabbed a beer from the fridge when I was 4, took it to a neighbor and asked her if she could open it for me. Either way, I'm "The Beast" to my family...and close family friends.

When I graduated from college I was trying to figure out how to manage my money. I called a financial advisor and asked how I could get a handle on my finances. He said he could send me a few mutual fund prospectuses and to call him back after I received them. That wasn't exactly what I was looking for. I needed someone to teach me how to budget, get out of debt and save money, not just take my money (which I didn’t have) and invest it for me.

After working as a mortgage processor/underwriter for a few years, I decided it was time for me to go back to school and learn finance. I was accepted into a Master's of Business program and was steered from finance to technology. I've worked in technology, now, for over 10 years but it isn't my passion.

in 2006, after years, of searching, I came across Dave Ramsey's book, "The Total Money Makeover". This book changed my life. I read it in a few nights, gave it to my wife to read and then we discussed how we should incorporate the concepts of this book into our life. It also helped me realize my passion, personal finance.

I love personal finance. I love it so much that I want to teach other people how to manage their money. I want to share the feeling of being debt free with as many people as I can. It's the reason I've started this blog. The Money Beast, it’s just who I am…
