Author Jason Kirk has worked in the finance industry for more than twenty-five years including that as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER(TM) professional and has always enjoyed educating people on finance. As witness to the financial literacy crisis in America including the lack of education on that topic to students in schools, he was inspired to write a book that would teach young people early on and wrote Grow Your Dough: Smart Money Tips for Teens.

Though it was difficult to condense all of the financial information into a book that would be easily digestible for young people, his goal was to be able to get through to teens, such as his own daughters who are thirteen and fifteen, with lasting knowledge they could apply to their lives. He hopes his young readers come away from his book with solid financial skills that help carve out a financially secure and smart future.

Jason lives in Brighton, Michigan, with his wife and daughters, two cats and a dog. Grow Your Dough: Smart Money Tips for Teens is his debut book.
