Meet your coach

Bobby Richardson is the founder of Barbell Financial.

​

Throughout his 20's, he had good jobs that paid well but never anything to show for all the hours at the office, long commute and daily sacrifice. He always strived for the promotion and pay raise but was never taught how to manage his income. 

 

By 28 years old, he was drowning in debt and had zero savings by following the typical path of the "American Dream". He felt stuck on the financial treadmill but didn't want to spend his whole life running in place.

​

Just a short five years later by 33 years old, he had taken control of his finances and was not only completely debt free, but also financially free by implementing the same systems and strategies taught at Barbell Financial.

​

He enjoys a 14 year career in finance as Vice President of Risk Management, and previously as Director of Stock Market Fraud Investigations, and has experience working at the top financial institutions in NYC including Merrill Lynch, JPMorgan Chase, the Depository Trust & Clearing Corp (DTCC), and BBVA.

​

Bobby is passionate about coaching others on their money and encouraging more dialogue about personal finance. When Bobby's not coaching others, he's spending time with his wife and son, or testing his boundaries mentally and physically by running marathons, completing triathlons, hiking to the top of mountains, and pumping iron at the gym.
