Mel has a passion for mentoring and coaching to close the gap between where people are and how good they are meant to be so they can live a life of choice!

Who I am…

Hi, I’m Mel—a USA Today bestselling author, CPA, and entrepreneur on a mission to help people design lives of freedom, purpose, and impact. I’ve spent over three decades mentoring entrepreneurs, executives, and individuals, sharing proven tools to create financial freedom and reclaim time for what truly matters. The powerful frameworks I’ve developed through my decades of a journey have empowered thousands to build wealth, live aligned with their values, and leave a lasting legacy.

But let’s be real—it hasn’t been a straight path. I’m the son of an immigrant father who came to this country at 17 with nothing but determination and grit, a lesson that shaped how I face life’s curveballs. I’ve been a single, full-time dad juggling bedtime stories and boardrooms, survived cancer twice, and rebuilt my life after losing a third of everything in a Ponzi scheme. Each of these challenges taught me resilience, purpose, and the importance of living fully expressed.

I am a global keynote speaker and mentor, and have had the privilege to serve and  inspire thousands through my talks, workshops, and even millions through my weekly show, where I share proven frameworks to help my audiences thrive financially and personally.

When I’m not speaking, writing, or coaching, you’ll find me at the beach in Southern California with my amazing wife, Stefanie, our two goofy Sheepadoodles, Budo and Samson, and a grin that only my two spoiled granddaughters can bring. Fun fact: I’m also an identical twin—which might explain why I’m always ready with a prank or a bad dad joke. My day isn’t complete until Stefanie gives me her signature eye-roll and asks, “Mel, will you ever grow up?” Spoiler alert: I won’t.

If you’re tired of the grind and ready to build a life that’s rich in both dollars and meaning, we’re going to get along just fine. Let’s Build Your Money Machine and create the life and freedom you deserve.

Why I Do What I Do…

I see it everywhere: people struggling, stressed, and losing hope. I see the weight of confusion and uncertainty around money, as if financial freedom is reserved for “other people.” Most of us were never taught how money really works, let alone how to build wealth and create a life that feels rich—not just in dollars, but in meaning.

But here’s what I believe: financial freedom is your birthright. It’s not about luck or privilege; it’s about clarity, action, and a belief that you deserve it. Time—not money—is the ultimate measure of wealth, and legacy isn’t stuff we build to leave behind. Legacy is who we are and what we leave within the people we touch, in each and every moment, day by day.

I believe we’re all given a gift, something unique we’re here to nurture, develop, and ultimately give back to the world. For me, finding that gift came after one of the darkest times of my life.

After surviving cancer twice, I couldn’t stop asking myself, Why did this happen to me? I went searching for something I might have done—some mistake, some wrongdoing that caused this. I couldn’t find an answer, and that left me in a very dark place.

Then a friend asked me a question that changed everything:

What if the cancer isn’t because of something you did, but because of something you’re meant to do? Then what would the message be?

That question lit a fire in me. It reframed my pain as a purpose. It gave me clarity that the challenges I’ve faced—single parenthood, rebuilding after financial loss, cancer—weren’t there to break me. They were there to prepare me for the work I’m meant to do.

Writing my book, Building Your Money Machine, and stepping onto stages to share this message was born from that pivotal moment. It became clear that my mission is to help others live their lives fully expressed, aligned with their values and vision, and free from financial stress.

We all deserve a life where time is spent on what truly matters—family, purpose, and experiences that leave us fulfilled – a rich life. That’s why I do what I do. I’m here to guide you toward financial freedom, not just so you can have more, but so you can be more.

Because when you have clarity and control over your money, you reclaim your time. And when you reclaim your time, you live your legacy—not someday, but right now.
