Your Sherpa LLC:
Teaming Up with Parents to Produce
Financially Savvy and Career-Ready Young Adults.
Because:
SAVING MONEY WHEN YOU’RE YOUNG
SETS YOU UP FOR LIFE
To achieve independence. To care for your family. To give back to your community.
WHY WE STARTED: THE PROBLEMS
The reality is that most young people are not saving enough money.
In fact, most Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
Even worse, most young adults are in no position to even start saving:
Saddled with college debt, underemployed, and not financially literate.
HOW WE ARE UNIQUE: OUR SOLUTION
Unique Approach:
-
We deliver what is truly needed to solve these problems, a personal process to succeed at saving money (a ROADMAP, from start to finish).
Unique Scope:
-
We focus on saving money (since you can't invest if you haven't first saved).
-
Our emphasis is always on starting young.
-
We address college and career decisions because you can’t begin to save if deep in college debt and you can’t save if you can’t get and hold onto a good job in our changing world.
Unique Tone:
-
We offer a refreshingly frank conversation about the challenges young people face to save money.
-
We address the broken systems that perpetuate these problems.
-
We emphasize that, in the end, it is your responsibility to overcome these challenges.

Our Story
A sherpa provides expert guidance on Himalayan climbs. A sherpa prepares, teaches, and supports the climber before and along the journey. We want to be your financial sherpa. While many financial firms use names that evoke an image of the peak, summit, or pinnacle (i.e., symbolizing the end point, retirement), we recognize that many people, particularly students and young adults, are at the very beginning. Your Sherpa, LLC is with you at basecamp, ready to teach, inspire, and guide you to financial success and better life outcomes.
"Many young adults are choosing schools they can't afford and careers that do not generate the earnings power needed to pay off college debt. Many others can't apply their degrees or stay employed in today's changing world, despite many job openings. My goal is to produce financially savvy and career ready young adults. This requires inspiring content that teaches actionable lessons and broad life skills about earning and saving money. "
