About the Author

Curt Sheldon spent twenty-seven years with the US Air Force. Sheldon is immensely proud of his military record but decided to focus on something else entirely after retiring from the air force. He became a certified financial planner, an enrolled agent, and an accredited investment fiduciary. Sheldon holds a bachelor's degree from the United States Air Force Academy (specializing in management and finance), an MBA from the City University of Seattle (with an emphasis on individual financial planning), and a master's degree in strategic studies from the United States Air Force's Air University.

Sheldon has been invited to speak to service members on military bases across the United States. He is also the owner of C. L. Sheldon & Company LLC, a Virginia-based financial-planning and wealth-management firm. He is the father of two sons and lives with his wife, Cathy, in Northern Virginia.
