Born and bred in
this great city of Chicago.
Served ten, life-accelerating, years in the military; eight years on
active-duty in non-stop overseas tours with Special Operations Capable (SOC) units in the United States Marine
Corps.
When I came home from overseas, I used my GI Bill to obtain an education in financial planning at DePaul University.
I am also known as the "Money Smart Guy" as I talk very openly about my own personal experiences with money and ways to save, make and
protect our hard earned cash as host of a financial talk show "Money
Smart Radio".
I have had and will continue to experience plenty "come-to-Jesus" moments
in my years as a single father and have been greatly blessed throughout my journey through
life. I am glad to have you join me here on my blog at ChicagoNow, I look forward to sharing our experiences together!
If you would rather call and leave me a voicemail with your comments and questions, I just may include you in my next financial radio talk show broadcast or podcast! Call 708.686.2000 x8
P.S. For all his help and continuing support to make this Chicago's premier blog for personal finance and small business ideas, I want you to know ChicagoNow's Fernando Diaz is da jam!
P.S.S. You can also find my up-to-date thoughts, pics and videos as I post them on my Twitter and Facebook profiles. Plus you can network and connect with my friends there too!
