Our Story, Vision, Mission
Our Story
Campus Financial Partners was founded on a commitment forged through years of experience and deeply personal lessons. It all started in 2001, when as a young father I was inspired by wise counsel to prepare for difficult financial times ahead. This resonated with me and laid the foundation for my passion for financial preparedness and helping others secure their futures.
Fast forward to October 2008, when as a new member of the faculty at Kansas State University I was co-advising a group of students at the Financial Planning Association conference in Boston. That same week, Lehman Brothers collapsed, the market plummeted, and the world stood at the brink of a financial abyss. Shortly after, I lost my job at K-State and faced one of the toughest seasons of my life. For a year, I worked odd jobs while relying on my faith, my community, and, thankfully, the precautionary measures we had taken. Our “Ev-mart” food storage, which we humorously named for its extensive supply, became a testament to preparation. The flour container that never seemed to run out was a small miracle that bolstered our faith and helped keep our spirits high through that challenging time.
These experiences shape who we are at Campus Financial Partners. We understand the unpredictability of life and markets, and we strive to help academic couples be ready for whatever comes their way. Our mission is to ensure that your commitment to excellence and your contributions to the greater good aren't hindered by the fluctuations of the financial world.
