Michael Peters has a lot of experience planning his own families budget and retirement needs, so he decided to further that knowledge and is on his way to becoming a certified Financial Counselor. He was a recipient of the 2021 FINRA Foundation Fellowship to work towards that goal. Michael is a lifelong military dependant, and has been a military spouse for 12yrs. Michael strives to make the traditional spouses clubs more inclusive and diverse, even organizing to have an All-Abilities playground built at a previous duty station. Michaels efforts landed him as a Military Spouse of the Year, an honor voted on my fellow military spouses and other military connected families. He is also an avid writer about the things he is passionate about. Here is one example of his writing: https://in-dependent.org/blog/find-your-way-as-a-male-military-spouse
