About Providence and Paychecks
Welcome! I’m the founder of Providence and Paychecks. After years working in the financial industry, I realized that many families were looking for a bridge between professional insights and faithful stewardship without having to pay a percentage of their retirement income.
This blog is a warm, inviting space where we explore how everyday money decisions can be an act of trust in God’s providence, turning your paycheck into a legacy of faith and security.
OUR MISSION
Faithful Finance for Everyday Life
At Providence and Paychecks, my mission is to simplify the complex world of personal finance and bring it into harmony with our shared Catholic faith. I believe that every dollar is an opportunity for stewardship, and every paycheck is a chance to practice trust in divine providence. By blending technical financial insights with timeless faith principles, I aim to empower you to navigate your bank account with wisdom and intentionality.
I focus on turning practical financial questions into clear, faithful answers—from building a family budget, having a sound insurance portfolio, and finally, to growing in generosity. My goal is to help you create a life of financial peace that serves your family, your community, and your eternal vocation.
The Path to Providence
My financial journey started with a BA in Finance from Benedictine College, where I also played college football. Thanks to my wonderful professors, I learned that numbers serve a higher purpose. It wasn't just about math; it was about the responsibility of stewardship within our faith community.
After working at State Farm and New York Life, I saw firsthand how much technical expertise matters. Even something as simple as being underinsured can lead to financial ruin. However, I also saw a gap: many people wanted personal financial advice that was from the heart not just a cookie cutter script they were taught to churn out. People yearn for advice that comes from the heart that leads them to not only financial success, but also success in their daily lives, family life, and spiritual life.
I created Providence and Paychecks to bridge that gap. My mission is to help you navigate budgeting, debt, and savings with the technical precision of a professional and the heart of a servant.
