I began investing with my first mutual fund purchase in 1983. I've continued studying investments and financial planning ever since, becoming a member of the American Association of Individual Investors in 1984. I earned the Associate of Science in Electronics, from Gavilan College in 1986, the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (cum laude) at Chapman University in 1995, Master of Business Administration at Columbia College of Missouri in 2002. I completed Boston University’s Online Program for Financial Planners in 2006, and most recently earned the Master of Science in Finance & Economics at West Texas A&M University in 2024. I began formally helping others reach their financial goals in 1991, as the Command Financial Specialist aboard USS Dixon (AS 37), as part of the US Navy’s then-new Personal Financial Management program. I served in the same position at Afloat Training Group in Yokosuka, Japan. After completing a Navy career, I worked at Bank of America, first in Northwest Dealer Banking, and was soon promoted to Investment Specialist in Retirement Services. I enjoy helping others apply principles of financial management to their personal situations and teach courses in: Personal Financial Planning; Business Finance; Principles of Real Estate; Investments; and Micro and Macro Economics for Columbia College in Oak Harbor and Marysville. I also taught Personal Finance & Investments for Skagit Valley College from 2004 through 2016. Penn Cove Financial, LLC was established in 2005 and began offering Financial Planning & Investment Management services to the public in March 2006.
