The Coaches

Rich has been in the people business all his life. By his estimation, he has made just enough financial mistakes to make him perfectly prepared to help you clean up yours! Starting with Crown Financial Personal Finance training in 2002 and Financial Peace University training in 2006, he began leading classes in personal finance. In 2012, he was officially trained as a Crown Financial Coach and began work as a financial coach for a regional company with more than 350 employees. Since that time, he has developed a passion for connecting with people, learning their stories, and providing them a pathway to stress-free personal finance. This culminated in attending the Financial Coach Master Training through Dave Ramsey in 2017 and the launch of The Money Coaches. The goal of The Money Coaches is to help you re-write your story. We believe in the power of redemption. Maybe your story hasn’t gone like you planned, but it is not over yet, and we are here to help!

Kathy had her life clearly laid out until she married Rich in 1977. Then things got interesting. After making several unwise financial decisions, Kathy and Rich attended their first Crown Financial Class in 2002 (which they repeated in 2004). Because they are slow learners, they went through Financial Peace University in 2006. Kathy’s training experience follows the same path as her husband’s: leading classes, training in 2012 as a Crown Financial Coach, and going through the Financial Coach Master Training with Dave Ramsey in 2017. Through all this, the goal has been to help people find a way to get rid of the knot in their stomach every time they realize there is too much month and not enough money. Kathy has made a mess before, and now she is the perfect messenger to show that there is a better way.

Allen graduated from college with degrees in Accounting and Business Education. In short, that means he can “do” accounting and “teach” accounting. He has operated his own tax business since 1991. Along with the tax business, he has served as a Controller, Auditor, and Manager of Finance in his career. After meeting Rich and Kathy a few years ago, Allen realized that he could combine his financial and tax background with his love of helping people. He has completed the Financial Coach Master Training through Dave Ramsey and has been working with The Money Coaches behind the scenes for the last few years. He is looking forward to helping people find a better and more fulfilling financial life.
