Some things you might not know about Omar:

He is a local San Diegan and a first-generation college graduate. From a young age, Omar has been interested in personal finance, but the passion for it grew exponentially while he was in college. His parents never had someone to talk to about their finances, and he witnessed the devastation and stress The Great Recession caused them when he was younger. Seeing this unfold motivated Omar to want and help others with their finances and achieve their life goals.
