New Guy Intro from Tempe, AZ

[Benjamin Kelly]

Hey BP Community,

I am a recently transitioned military officer who has just joined the corporate finance world and realized that it is not all that it is cracked up to be. I enjoy where I work but there is a part of me that needs to become the arbiter of my own financial fate. From reading the site for a few days now I know there are many out there just like me.

I have been immensely interested in REI for the last two years but have not taken the plunge as of yet. This year I want that to change. I am earnestly seeking a mentor in the Phoenix Metro area and I am motivated and determined to make this happen.

I look forward to getting to know this community and to contribute as soon as I can. Please reach out if you are in the Phoenix area as I would love to have a chat or meet for coffee.

Thanks,

Ben
