About Us

Our mission is to revolutionize the teaching of personal finance in all schools and to improve the financial lives of the next generation of Americans.

A message from the Co-Founder

This journey began humbly in 2010 at Eastside College Prep in East Palo Alto. In 2010, I volunteered to design and teach a personal finance program from the ground up at Eastside. Seeing firsthand the multigenerational impact personal finance education had on students and their families inspired me to reach beyond that single classroom.

I'm an entrepreneur driven by a passion for education and in 2014, I co-founded Next Gen Personal Finance (NGPF) with Jessica Endlich. From day one, we made a clear commitment: every NGPF service would be offered at no cost, ensuring that financial barriers would never stand in the way of learning.

Since then, NGPF has become the #1 provider of personal finance curriculum and professional development for educators in the U.S.

Together, we're making financial education a reality for all.
