Brian Ross

Financial Services Professional & Financial Literacy Advocate

Personal Notes

I grew up in one of the poorest counties in Oklahoma. Witnessing the devastation of poverty on people’s lives had a profound impact on me. While personal choice plays a part, I believe a lack of resources such as education and more specifically, financial education, are also major contributors to generational poverty.
