The Transition from Military to Finance

David Boyer, a retired naval officer, shares his journey from military service to the finance industry. After completing his undergraduate degree in business administration, he chose to serve in the Marine Corps instead of pursuing a career on Wall Street. This decision led him to a passion for personal finance and investing, where he began assisting his fellow Marines with their tax returns during his service. Ultimately, his military experience laid the groundwork for his transition into financial advising, where he has since sought to help others achieve financial independence.
