Dave
Ramsey is a personal money management expert, an
extremely popular national radio personality and
best-selling author of The Total Money Makeover. In
his latest book, a follow-up of his enormously
successful New York Times best-sellers Financial
Peace and More Than Enough, Ramsey exemplifies his
life’s work of teaching others how to be financially
responsible, so they can acquire enough wealth to
take care of loved ones, live prosperously into old
age, and give generously to others.
 Ramsey
knows first-hand what financial peace means in his
own life – living a true
rags-to-riches-to-rags-to-riches story. By age
twenty-six he had established a four-million-dollar
real estate portfolio, only to lose it by age
thirty. He has since rebuilt his financial life and
now devotes himself full-time to helping ordinary
people understand the forces behind their financial
distress and how to set things right – financially,
emotionally, and spiritually.
Ramsey offers life-changing financial advice as host
of a nationally syndicated radio program, "The Dave
Ramsey Show," which is heard by more than 3.5
million listeners each week, on more than 350 radio
stations throughout the United States.
Ramsey is the creator of Financial Peace University
(FPU), a thirteen-week program that helps people
dump their debt, get control of their money, and
learn new behaviors around money that are founded on
commitment and accountability. More than 500,000
families have attended FPU classes at their
workplace, church, military base, local nonprofit
organization, community group or Spanish speaking
organization. The average family pays off $5,300 in
debt and saves $2,700 in the first 91 days after
beginning FPU and is completely out of debt, except
for the mortgage, in 18 to 24 months.
Ramsey created a group of products in an effort to
teach children about money before they have a chance
to make mistakes. Financial Peace for the Next
Generation is an all inclusive school curriculum
that is currently in more than 3,000 schools across
the country. Financial Peace Jr. is an instructional
kit designed to help parents teach their young
children about working, saving and giving their own
money. Through Ramsey’s entertaining children’s book
series, The Super Red Racer, Careless at the
Carnival, The Big Birthday Surprise, My Fantastic
Fieldtrip, A Special Thank You, and Battle of the
Chores, children learn about working, saving,
giving, budgeting, integrity, and debt.
 On
Oct. 15, 2007, Ramsey added television host to title
when "The Dave Ramsey Show on Fox Business Network"
debuted nationally.
Ramsey earned his B.S. degree in Finance and Real
Estate from the University of Tennessee. A frequent
speaker around the country at large-scale live
events, Ramsey is a passionate and inspiring
presenter who is at ease on both sides of the mike.
More than 450,000 people have attended Ramsey's LIVE
events. |
