Retiring by 45 is a journey to financial independence. As a business leader, husband, father, and generally just a nice guy, I love numbers. Doing the things I have to now so I can do the things I want to later appeals to me. Numbers can make this happen. Follow my journey to learn more about finance, family, fun, and balance in life.
While I always set out to reach my goals, my family comes first. I will not make any sacrifices or compromises that knowingly put my family’s well being second to my goal.
My professional pursuits are lofty. I constantly challenge myself in my day to day responsibilities running a small business and find myself creating projects (like this site) in my spare time.
While I anticipate ups and downs in this journey to financial independence, I will always seek a balance. While extremes are relative, life is too short to not enjoy all aspects of the ride.

The Guy On The Journey
In 2022, I turned 41. Four years from now, I’d like to have complete financial independence. Currently, I am a senior level organizational development consultant, have a loving wife and two beautiful daughters (13 & 7), have published three books, run a couple of websites (like this one), love to travel, and am decent at the game of golf.
