Meet the Financial Coaching Team

Dave's Coaching Team has decades of combined experience helping people who are struggling and need financial direction. They offer a wide range of personal and small business coaching services for every financial situation.

Russ Carroll

Russ Carroll  was the first.  He doesn't wear a t-shirt proclaiming this, but it's true. Russ was Dave Ramsey's first team member, and he represents the core of the Dave Ramsey organization.  As Dave's lead financial counselor for over 17 years, Russ has counseled thousands of families about personal finance, small-business finance and financial crises. He walks people through the steps to Financial Peace and helps set them up to win with money. Read More.

Chris Hogan

Chris Hogan might have been the most unlikely person to wind up working as a financial coach.  Why? Years ago, Chris was an All-American college football player who pushed future NFL players all over the field—far removed from the world of helping others find Financial Peace. Chris is an expert on subjects like mortgages, healthcare and investing. To promote financial education, he speaks at colleges and businesses, and conducts on-site training sessions at companies. Chris also works with high-profile clients, such as athletes, entertainers and businessmen, to help them develop a financial strategy to protect their wealth and secure their future.
