Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
So far, this is my first book. It’s fascinating to put my life experience into a medium that can help people.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Make A Payment: How to Decimate Credit Cards with Debt Consolidation to obtain Financial Peace of Mind. The inspiration comes from my experience in the financial services industry and realizing the need to educate people. It’s absolutely mind-blowing how many people don’t have a grip on their finances.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I wouldn’t say anything about my writing is unusual other than I am a numbers guy, so this was by far a huge personal accomplishment for me.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
In terms of my writing, not many, Dave Ramsey’s Total Money Makeover, Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Poor Dad, Ramit Sethi’s I’ll Teach You to be Rich.
What are you working on now?
I am working on a complimentary book to expand and dive deeper into many actionable areas for individuals struggling with finding their path to financial freedom.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Since this is my first book, it’s hard to tell at this point which of the many strategies I have employed will pan out until more data is gathered.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
It’s a huge adjustment. Just keep reminding yourself that time is like a direct deposit in the reverse that you can’t stop. So Do You!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
My grandma once said, “If I am not learning something every day, I may as well be dead.”
What are you reading now?
Well, I haven’t finished The Fountainhead yet… it’s interesting so far.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Many more books, and just work on my mission of helping people.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
I guess just give me the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Hobbit, the world-building from Tolkien is on another level
