Welcome to the Dollar Dojo!
Hello! I'm Mike
I’m a financial coach based in San Diego.
For too long, I’ve watched loved ones fall prey to the sleazy tactics of banks, lenders, and credit card issuers. I’ve made it my mission to help people understand the principles of personal finance and regain control over their lives. Banks are not your friend, and I’d like to help you take back control from yours.
I started The Dollar Dojo because I was tired of seeing my friends and family drowning in debt. I’m on a mission to help young people kick their debt to the curb and start living their best life. I’d love to meet you, learn about your goals, and help you reach them.

More about me
I'm Mike, a senior financial analyst based in Southern California. I’m very passionate about the work that I do.
As a Financial Coach, my number one objective is to provide financial education so that you feel empowered to make the best financial decisions for yourself. We’ll sit down together (virtually) and go over your entire financial blueprint, talk about your goals, and create a budget and an action plan to help you achieve those goals. I’ll serve as your accountability partner to provide guidance and ensure you’re sticking with the plan.
Our sessions together will be entirely judgment-free. You may have seen so-called “financial gurus” (Dave Ramsey) use a shame-based approach when working with clients. We don’t do that here.
I will not sell you or recommend any sort of financial products, nor will I advise you how to invest your money. As a coach, it’s my job to empower you and to provide you with resources and education so that you can confidently manage your money.
My working process
I have streamlined a simple process to help steer you toward your financial dreams!

Plan
Based on your goals, we'll come up with an action plan to achieve them.
