I served my country for eight years that included two combat tours, one to Iraq and the other to Afghanistan. My mission, since 2014, has been to spread financial literacy and give education to the underserved members of society. I was once part of the "rat race" before I went to college for a bachelor's degree in Business and later on taught myself the basics of finance. I can tell you from experience that being financially ignorant hurts, and not just you, but entire generations can be affected.I got into finance after ending up in military confinement where I hadn't accumulated any assets and was left with thousands of dollars in consumer debt and liabilities. This caused me to reevaluate my life and the previous choices I'd made, which led me to correspondence college courses and investing in every book I could find on the subjects of money, finance, business, and the psychology of wealth. The culmination of my studies created Self-Made: How to Win by Investing in Yourself and my upcoming Money Master Series that will breakdown each element of my C.I.T.R.A.S. method.My actions and studies not only led me to write several manuscripts, but to also start finding ways to give back. I decided that a portion of all sales from every book that I'll publish will go to funding a project I call Operation HOT GRITS, which stands for helping our troops get reintegrated to society that will help ex-military felons find living situations. The long-term goal is to have operations in Texas, New York, North Carolina, and Kansas with the home base being in Georgia. The project will look to provide jobs, housing, temporary transportation, and financial education so the recruits can be successful in their communities. There is already a GoFundMe page setup for donations that can be found via Darchelly Pretty on Facebook if you'd like to do more.Also, a large donation will go to help Autism Speaks as I have several family members with this diagnosis; and to finish it off I intend to make a yearly donation to a charity of my family's choice that will help women and children who have experienced abuse. I can't do anything about the past, but I am looking to effect change and by you purchasing this book, you're helping me make that happen.I am up for receiving any fan mail, questions, concerns, or criticism you may have about me or any publications I have written thus far. As of now, you can contact me at the address below:My name1300 N Warehouse RdFt Leavenworth KS 66027-2304If my address should change, I will gladly let you know. Thank you all and may The Great Architect of the Universe bless you all.view less
