Meet the People Behind toravianquith

Harlan spent fifteen years as a construction project manager before discovering he had a talent for explaining complex financial concepts in simple terms. After helping dozens of coworkers create their first real budgets, he made the career switch in 2019.

His approach centers on "building" financial stability the same way you'd construct a house - with a solid foundation first. Harlan specializes in debt management strategies and emergency fund planning, drawing from his experience managing tight project budgets and unexpected costs in construction.

Celeste came to financial education through psychology, earning her degree in behavioral economics in 2018. She became fascinated with why people make money decisions that seem irrational on paper but make perfect sense when you understand the emotional context.

She focuses on helping people identify their spending triggers and develop budgeting systems that work with their personality rather than against it. Celeste is particularly skilled at working with people who've tried traditional budgeting methods without success.

Ridge worked in software development for a decade before realizing his real passion was teaching people how to use technology to improve their financial lives. He joined toravianquith in 2022 after freelancing as a fintech consultant.

His expertise lies in helping people choose and customize budgeting apps, set up automated savings systems, and use digital tools to track spending patterns. Ridge believes technology should make budgeting easier, not more complicated.
