Dividends Diversify Is About YOU

Dividends Diversify logo

If you are like most visitors, you desire success in life.  Maybe you even dream of being financially independent someday.

You may be a young adult and just getting started.  Or, you might be further along in your journey and want to break through to another level.

Regardless, you want the most out of life and want to make the most of your money.

If this sounds a little like you, then do not feel alone. Many of us feel this way.

And I Can Relate to YOU

I know how it is to have a strong desire to achieve, be your best, and have more control over your life.

To have the means and skills to do what you want.  Not what others want or tell you to do.

For years, while I was a professional in the corporate world, I had these desires too.  And through Dividends Diversify, I share my experiences in achieving that dream.

About Me – Tom

Or, stick with me now for a bit of information on my background.

Getting My Start

I developed an interest in making money, saving, investing, and business at a young age. I started mowing lawns around my neighborhood at age 10.   By age 15, I did landscaping work, delivered newspapers, and waited tables at a restaurant.

Becoming An Investor

The money earned from working at a young age allowed me to invest in my first stock at age 10. I made that investment through a local company’s dividend reinvestment plan with my Dad’s help and encouragement. Better yet, I have been investing my spare cash ever since then.

Thus, I have over 45 years of personal hands-on do-it-yourself investing experience. This includes publicly traded stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, and investments in privately-held businesses.

A Finance & Accounting Professional

I earned an undergraduate accounting degree and Certification in Public Accounting (CPA) when I was 21. Then spent nearly 30 years as a business professional running the finances for small and large companies.

But, in my late 40s, I declared my financial freedom and walked away from the full-time grind of the corporate world. Ahhhh, what a relief.

My Brand Of Financial Independence

I view financial freedom as an honor and privilege. And I never want to waste a moment of it.

So, after I left my day job, I completed a Master’s degree in accounting with a secondary emphasis on investing and financial planning. Armed with that graduate degree, I pursued a university-level teaching position.

And have since taught many graduate business courses for a local university.

What is my favorite course to teach? It is Financial Statement Analysis.

Because digging into a company’s financial statements is one of the best ways to assess its investment prospects.

Finally, I currently research and write helpful and informative articles for you in my latest life chapter. Published right here on Dividends Diversify.

“About Me” Is Really About YOU

I bring my investing experience, academic training, and professional background to your attention for one main reason. Why?

Because the goal at Dividends Diversify is to leverage my unique experiences to bring YOU the best content possible. To inform YOU, educate YOU, entertain YOU, and inspire YOU. After all, it’s YOU at the top of the success pyramid!
