Me

I’m living in Jacksonville, FL with my beautiful wife and freakishly crazy dog. I created this site to share with you my thoughts and passions about one of the most important choices you’ll ever face: what to do with the rest of your life. After changing colleges three times and changing majors three times, I settled at the University of Florida and received a business degree in Management. Getting a degree in management means that you didn’t know what to do with your life, so you went with something that sounded good and is generic enough to keep your options open. I quickly got into the insurance industry straight out of college, and I began professionally blogging in January of 2006. The site is called Money Crashers, and it is my most successful blog project to date. It’s a personal finance site for all ages, but primarily for the Millenial Generation. When writing for this blog, I realized that I have a passion for helping high school students, college students, and recent graduates with career development. And so here I am, giving you my two cents about career paths and choices.

The Millenial Generation

This site is for those of you fresh out of college or those of you looking to make a career transition. Do you wake up in the morning dreading the drive to work? Do you need a change? Do you feel like you’re wasting your true skills and talents? Maybe you do need a change. Or maybe you just need a different perspective about your current career. Hopefully, my life experiences, opinions, and thoughts will help you figure out the work you were meant to do. We are a special generation. You are innovative, imaginative, strong-willed, and you know what you want. You reject the idea of just going to work for a paycheck. You may be doing it right now, but you know it’s not right. Our generation will never settle for just showing up at work and going through the motions. You want more, and you deserve more, but you’ll need to work at it. You’ll only earn what you are worth.

The idea of earning what you are worth is one of great importance. You will only be paid what you are worth. If you don’t continually improve yourself, your skill set, and your overall mental and physical health, you won’t earn much in your lifetime. Those that are self-motivated, healthy, and mentally strong will earn more than those that accept mediocrity.
