Hey, I’m Skip — executive, entrepreneur, investor, and, most importantly, a proud Girl Dad.

I’ve spent more than 25 years helping businesses grow, making complicated decisions, investing, and learning firsthand that money can make life a whole lot easier…if you know what the hell you’re doing with it.

My goal is to keep this a practical, relatable place for parents who want to make more money, invest smarter, build businesses, create additional income, and make better financial decisions for their families.

Because raising kids is expensive.

And apparently, nobody mentioned that before we signed up.
