“The College Funding Coach is like a family—we care about each other, we want to see each other succeed, we're there to help one another grow and develop, and we do a lot of things outside of our professional lives. We're always having fun and you know we've seen each other getting married, having children and, you know a family within the family and, you know over my last five years, I have to say the College Funding Coach is about the closest thing to my natural bloodborne family that exists.”

“Prior to this, I was a football player. So like you walk into the stadium and there's screaming fans. I went to the Marshall University. I got five championship rings. I played one year of professional football. I know what it's like to go in that stadium and hear 60-70 thousand people. I get that same butterfly feeling when I'm doing a workshop and there's a line of 30-40 people— that's like “Man, I gotta talk to you.” That is amazing. That's why this is for me this is the greatest job ever. It's the thing that is correlated or comparable to me running out on the football field and knowing that I have to perform and I have to also be a good member of a team and that's what we are here at the College Funding Coach. We're a good team and we're a good family.”

“It's been really positive in the way that can impact people. There was a family that I helped that unfortunately, shortly after I met them they had gone through a painful separation and divorce and my ability to kind of walk them through that financially as well as emotionally actually helped them in the long run because I was able to cut the bill in half for their daughter of what they originally would have paid had they still been married. So it kind of turned a negative into a positive.”

“It feels great. I've had parents in my office who are literally just about in tears when we first meet and by the end of the time that we're working together, by the end of the meetings, you know they're literally hugging us. They're seeing there's a light at the end of the tunnel, that it's not as bad as they thought it was, simply by just giving that guidance to people one-on-one.”

Frank Butler

“The College Funding Coach has taken our business to an entirely different level than we

would have been otherwise. We both like to say that we're not the best prospectors in the world. The College Funding Coach gave us automatic prospects—many more than we can keep up with sometimes—so it's definitely been the catalyst for us moving forward in our practice and to continue on.”

Jim Wehr

“I've become known as The College Funding Coach in our area and it has really set me apart from all those other folks that do similar things. I've gained some expertise in this, I'm known as that. I've even had other advisors come up to me and say “Hey, you're the fella that gives those seminars” and I go “Yes, I am.” So it's given me some recognition in the local community that I didn't have otherwise.”
