The Journey
My Financial journey started in 2018 with **-$3,000 in debt** and a lot of questions. As a Technical Product Manager and former Data Engineer, I spent hundreds of hours in spreadsheets, trying to find a path that made sense. I naturally started building the models that now power this site.
Just over **8 years later**, my net worth has grown to **$900k+**, allowing my family to achieve Coast FIRE. The journey taught me that financial freedom isn’t about luck—it’s about the right intentions and perfect visibility into your data.
Now, as a Husband and Father of 2, my perspective has shifted from “accumulation” to “freedom.” DIY Your Money is where I share those pro-grade models to help you take control.
