Why The College Funding Coach?

I joined the industry because I wanted to leave behind a legacy similar to those of my grandfather and my father. I wanted to use my coaching skills to better impact the community. The College Funding Coach allows me to do that and much more. Not only can I continue to serve the community through my extracurricular activities but now also by helping parents navigate through the complexity of paying for and planning for college.

My practice allows me to give back to the community that I grew up in, via community programs and charities, like the Elks and the local Chamber of Commerce. Furthermore, as a hockey coach, I am able to not only help the hockey community on the ice but off of it as well.

Area of Focus for LKS Workshop/Webinar: Somerset, Morris, and Union Counties in New Jersey via schools, local businesses, and business organizations
