I’m in my 50s, a father to 3 young adults, and an electronic engineer living in California.  I work in the telecommunications industry doing hardware design.

Saving has been an interest of mine since I was a child… I loved going to the bank to deposit money into my account.  The desire to save has never left me.

Thanks to my parents I was able to graduate college without any student loan debt, so I was able to begin saving immediately thereafter.  For the first few years after graduation, I saved for a down payment on a home, then I started investing in earnest.

I’ve always lived in California… one of the more expensive places to be (the price you pay for terrific weather, I guess).  This has certainly made it challenging to come up with new capital to invest in the dividend portfolio.

Nonetheless, I add capital when I can, hoping to continue to grow the portfolio and provide a nice income stream once I retire.

I’m looking forward to sharing my journey to financial independence.
