Taught by Mr. Jesse Underwood
Jesse Underwood has been fostering an interest in personal finance since 2013 when his wife was pregnant with their second child. A Catholic husband and father, he recognized early in marriage his duty to provide for the material needs of his growing family both now and into the future. As his competence and experience grew over the years, he felt called to share with others what he had come to understand. In 2020 Jesse took training in financial planning through Business Career College in Edmonton to deepen his knowledge and better help his family, friends, and community navigate the needlessly overwhelming and complex world of money management. In light of these rewarding experiences, personal finance has become a passion of his. He is grateful to have had the opportunity to assist those seeking guidance and looks forward to continuing the work of improving the financial literacy of Canadians. He is married with four children and a parishioner at the Vital Grandin Chaplaincy in Edmonton, Alberta.
