Steve Rhode is president and co-founder of Myvesta.org, a financial crisis and treatment center, based in Rockville, Md. Since Rhode and co-founder Mike Kidwell launched Myvesta in 1994, the organization has put millions of people back on the road to financial health through its innovative programs and services.
Rhode spotted the need for comprehensive financial assistance after he filed for personal bankruptcy in 1990. Following his debt troubles, he frequently met others who struggled with money problems. Again and again, he saw traditional credit counseling agencies turning people away or advising them to declare bankruptcy needlessly. It was obvious to Rhode that a better solution was needed.
Myvesta is that solution — a full-service organization with a talented, caring staff that gives people professional assistance to improve their financial situations. Myvesta uses certified financial planners, certified public accountants, psychologists, intervention counselors, legal professionals, financial mediators, insurance specialists and banking experts to find and solve the underlying reasons for people’s money problems. That process allows people to meet their financial goals and never repeat their money mistakes.
Rhode is co-author with Kidwell of, Get Out of Debt: Smart Solutions To Your Money Problems. He and Kidwell write a weekly column that is carried by more than 50 newspapers around the country. He regularly adds his two cents on money matters to programs on CNN, MSNBC, PBS, ABC, CBS and NBC. Rhode is interviewed for books, newspapers, magazines and radio programs.
Rhode has an M.B.A. and specialized training in Financial Recovery Counseling, divorce planning and financial interventions.
As vice president and co-founder of Myvesta.org, Mike Kidwell has seen every imaginable financial crisis and has helped thousands of people regain their financial footing.
Before he and Steve Rhode joined forces in 1994 to start Myvesta, Kidwell worked closely with consumers who were in the midst of losing their homes due to foreclosure. He discovered that there were few, if any, alternatives for people who needed complete detailed financial help.
Kidwell is integral to Myvesta’s friendly and hands-on image. His compassionate, detail oriented approach shows his unusual knack for translating financial jargon into meaningful terms for people in financial difficulty.
Kidwell gives numerous interviews to print and broadcast media, including USA Today, Consumer Reports, MSNBC, ABC and PBS.
