Media!

Hi there!

My name is Carl and I love to write. I’ve always loved to write. Have you ever heard of runner’s high? Expressing my thoughts with the written word gives me writer’s high. I feel better after I’ve shared my thoughts with the keyboard.

I’m thankful to have been featured on some really great sites including:

Public Speaking!

I also enjoy public speaking. I’ve spoken at Colorado State University, multiple Camp FIs and FinCon, Money doesn’t have to be a boring subject and I will not be boring.
