Bio

Matthew Vandre is an NFEC Certified Financial Education Instructor.

I believe life is a journey and that each day is a new opportunity for adventure, self-identification, forgiveness, and better choices.

I’ve spent the better part of the last decade as a member of the MoneyAdvice@Work® Team helping individuals and families across the United States learn to feel good about their money relationships through a unique blend of teaching, advising, and coaching.

I received my bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee where I studied human social behavior and the development, production, distribution and consumption of wealth in human society before continuing on to the University of Alabama where I earned a master’s degree in family financial behavior and counseling. I’m a member of the Financial Therapy Association (FTA), a contributing member of the National Financial Educators Council, and I am a candidate for the Certified Financial Planner Professional designation.

Active in the community, I am a Veteran of the historic Wisconsin Army National Guard 32nd “Red Arrow” Brigade, am a student Bible teacher and ministry coordinator for Waukesha Bible Church, and provide ongoing financial education and coaching to area “at risk” high school seniors through Secure Futures – Wisconsin.

I’m a husband, fixer upper, and father of five. I’ve climbed mountains, swam with alligators, tamed wild beasts, conquered debt, and found reason for hope where none existed before. I’m a Tough Mudder, and although I haven’t seen it all, I’ve see a lot. So just try and surprise me. Just try.
