I began my first business at the ripe old age of eighteen years old. I got married, lived in Fort Wayne, IN where I had been born and raised by a single mother who had businesses of her own. I ran a small business from my basement that got drafted into the Army, but decided I wanted to be in the Air Force, so I joined the AF. After I was Honorably discharged from the Air Force my life has been one of entrepreneurship. My father-in-law, mother-in-law, mother, brother and wife and I ran two marina businesses in Angola, IN for 10 years. We moved to CT to run an operation for Bass Tracker Marine, after I successfully put that business in the black we moved to Florida. My wife, and brother began another business in Hudson, Florida. We were successful at that computer business for 36+ years. My family and I joined a local church and I sat on their Board of Directors, helped run a few not-for-profit camps helping to build the centers for the more unfortunate kids the church helped take care of. Since leaving the computer store, I ran a home business fixing computers for many past customers who wanted to work with me only. (Advertising BY MOUTH TRAVELS FASTER WHEN Good Service is given ). I have had many opportunities to work with other businesses and to volunteer at many others. My wife is a writer and we began our business Rockwell Publishing LLC. The goal is to start publishing books by the end of September/October 2022 or sooner. I feel I would be an asset to your Board of Directors. I have a cool head and a steady hand. Allow me to prove my worth to you by bringing me onboard your Board.

My name is Bill Lorrigan and I would be very interested in being selected as a Board member role for the Association. I have been an active Association member since Sept 2018 and have complete faith in Phil and his ability to convert his vision into our future reality. Why would I be a good board member? Great question. My background is in technology, business, and corporate law. I currently work at a large banking organization as a Lead Compliance Officer focusing on technology and the laws, rules,and regulations governing that space. My educational background includes an undergraduate degree in Computer Science and a Master’s degree in Business Administration.

Part of the board’s responsibility will be to help decide how to invest the 10% buffer of funds into future efforts to further the process of increasing our wealth not only for ourselves but for our posterity. To be clear, I am not a financial advisor, but I have experience investing my wealth into stocks, real estate, classic cars, cryptocurrencies, and precious metals. Not every investment has been a home run, but that’s more because I focus on slowly growing my wealth and not taking unnecessary risks chasing high-risk/high-reward fads.

I am excited about the direction of the Association and look forward to serving with the other members of the newly reorganized board.

I am interested in being a board member of the association. Here is my statement:

I am interested in being a board member because I want to use more than two decades of experience as an actuarial and financial professional to help build on the incredible foundation that has been provided.

In my day job, I have helped companies ranging from sole proprietors to Fortune 500 companies, governments, and institutional investors with assets under management ranging from $5M to $185B model and manage risk. One of my strengths is the ability to communicate these technical concepts in an understandable manner regardless of whether I am speaking to CFOs and CEOs about how to manage the risk of their decisions or I am explaining to police officers and firefighters the impact of recent changes in their retirement benefits. I have also owned and operated a small business with my wife, as well as helped my youngest daughter start both a bakery delivery company and graphic design company while she was in high school.

I believe in giving back to the communities I am involved in (both personally and professionally) so have also served on, or worked closely with, a number of public and private boards. I understand the need for a wide variety of perspectives, and believe this experience would be beneficial as the board gets established and starts evaluating new projects.


My name is Rob Hoerntlein. I want to be your board member. I have been online since the late 1980's. I have been making money online since 1993. I am a webdesigner, both raw HTML and WordPress. I am currently an affiliate marketer. I also create my own digital products that I sell online. I have an agency that sells websites to small business anywhere within the USA. This involves creating websites, creating unique content that is compelling, doing their (SEO) search engine optimization. This includes both onsite and offsite. More and more it involves using many social media and Web 2.0 platforms. I will typically use in this order, YouTube, TikTok, Blogger, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr. I can describe why I use this order to anyone who wants to know. I am currently creating a product, "TikTok for Business Owners". My agency was international, I found that the USA market is better for me. I live in California. I have a staff of 3 virtual assistants, who do the repetitive tasks for me. I suspect I will be hiring one or two more within the next month. I bring this up to show that I am accustomed to prioritizing tasks and assigning them to the best people. I have been a company creator, since the 1960's I have created dozens of companies. Many of these have been partnerships, this shows that I can work cooperatively. I began investing in Real Estate in 1972, I am still very active in this and most investable categories, including crypto currencies. I have been on many boards of charity organizations. Most of these have been focused on children or families at risk. As you can see, I have devoted my adult life to communications and I will communicate with you. I want to be your board member.


Hi, my name is Kevin Powell, I am 47 years old—I live in Keizer, Oregon so you may know me as “Kevin from Keizer”. You ask people to let you know if I have a bright idea that’s going to be the next big thing. So, here’s one of mine: granting me the privilege to bring my decades of experience, practical knowledge, and proven acumen helping myself and others achieve financial success to The Association board, so that we can bring even more bright ideas that are going to be the next biggest things to life. Together. Let me tell you a little about myself.

I graduated in 1997 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education from Western Oregon University. I played basketball for WOU, and we were in the National Tournament my senior season. In 2010 I graduated from Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University (FPU). I am currently working as a Letter Carrier for the United States Postal Service and have been for over 20 years.  I have been involved in various Network Marketing companies or MLM’s for over 12 years. I was a facilitator for Financial Peace University for seven years. I have been in The Association for over two years and have probably singlehandedly asked Phil the most questions of everyone combined. Sorry Phil.

Like many kids growing up, my dream was to become a famous basketball or football player and obtain unimaginable wealth. I worked hard at it. I was great, and I was on my way to even greater things, but a couple of serious injuries along the way made me realize my dreams were not going to come to fruition. But time heals all wounds, and, as I grew older, I recognized I needed a backup plan to achieve the wealth I desired.  I still had a dream but wasn’t sure how to bring that dream to life anymore. I needed to change that dream into a goal—the same way I would if I were playing sports. A dream is just a goal without a deadline. So, I gave myself a deadline; I knew I needed to educate myself.  I believe in finding, following, and improving on the successful best practices of others, so I started researching what wealthy people were doing or had done to achieve their goals.  I quickly saw that reading the best books and really educating themselves by other subject-matter experts was the common factor that led to their financial success.  The more I researched, the more I saw the same books being recommended by people who had already achieved the wealth I desired.  At this point, I started my crusade to wealth in January of 2010—all while maintaining my current profession as a Letter Carrier. It’s been a lot of hard work. But that’s nothing new to me.

I started reading anything I could get my hands on that was related to financial success and wealth. I started implementing those best practices I read about from people who were inspiring me.  I am very proud of the fact I have read and applied the principles of over 100 books on the topic of personal growth, leadership, and finance within that a brief timeframe.  One of the favorites I’ve read is “The Creature from Jekyll Island”.  I have also listened to countless hours of podcasts on finance from experts in the fields.  One of my favorites was Dave Ramsey’s Entreleadership podcast. I couldn’t get enough—it seems like I bought two new books every time I would listen. Something else I’d proudly like to share. In March 2017, I was able to overcome more than $200,000.00 in personal debt by applying the knowledge and principles I learned over the past several years. Also, because of what I learned and implemented, I was able to take advantage of some once-in-a-lifetime vacations during the same time frame that I never thought possible—all while not having to stress about how I was going to pay for trip after trip once I returned.  I am currently writing a book about finances at the suggestion of my mentors from FPU who were impressed with my personal knowledge of the subject and my ability to apply it.  I have created my own set of guidelines for investing in financial opportunities based on my ideas and core beliefs, which align with this project.  

I have the heart of a teacher and the mind of a coach, which was proven when I was able to help people get out of debt and become wealthy using the principles taught in FPU while I facilitated the program. I would use those same core principles and apply them to The Association board—as I have done with every other aspect of my life. I believe in asking questions to get better answers, which, in turn, lead to better questions. All that leads to better information, so you can make the best decision. I would make a valuable addition to the board because of my passion to teach and coach individuals to do better, be better, and live better.  I am always looking for ways to expand my knowledge and pass on the best practices I’ve worked hard to learn and implement to others.  I am passionate about positive energy and sharing the good this world has to offer to benefit society as a whole.  I am equally vehement about The Association and Phil's vision of a better world.

 

Thank You
