Steve Repak, CFP® is a sought after Speaker, Army Veteran, and the author of the "6 Week Money Challenge: For Your Personal Finances" and "Dollars & Uncommon Sense: Basic Training For Your Money"
After 12 years of military service, Steve left the Army with over $32,000 in credit card debt, ironically landing a job in personal finance through contacts he made while serving. By observing what his wealthy clients did differently and starting to apply Godly principles when making decisions with his own financial resources, Steve was able to get his financial house in order. He began giving first, building his savings, and eventually was able to get out of debt and now Steve wants to help others do the same.
Steve has been a frequent guest on Fox and Friends, Fox Business, 700 Club, and CNN Headline News. Steve has been interviewed on NPR, Bloomberg Radio, Market Watch Radio, Wall Street Journal Radio, and many others. He has been featured in Forbes, Investor’s Business Daily, BusinessWeek, New York Post, Chicago Tribune, MSN Money, Yahoo Finance & USA Today.
