As a former instructor at the Coast Guard Academy, I witnessed the financial challenges faced by cadets and junior officers. Seeing their struggles and lack of financial guidance inspired me to create Junior Officer Money. My goal is to empower junior officers to align their money with their values, ensuring they make the most of their opportunities both in and out of the military.

Personal Financial Journey
I’ve walked the path of a junior officer, navigating career starter loans, deployments, and unfamiliar cities. In the early days, financial planning was a mystery to me. I once scoffed at the idea of an emergency fund—now, I couldn’t imagine life without one

The catalyst for Junior Officer Money came during my transition out of the Coast Guard. Stories of retired officers struggling to find purpose and others facing homelessness shook me.
