Tim Munkeby spent 13 years teaching junior and senior high school English and creative writing, directing theater productions, and coaching sports. He switched gears in the 1980s, founding Munkeby Financial, Inc., a financial services firm in Hopkins, Minnesota. He’s combined his two career paths by writing "If I Had a Million Dollars: How to Achieve Financial Independence Before Your Parents Do", and lecturing at colleges and universities on financial and career literacy. Munkeby has also written three novels: "Back to the Island", "Will", and most recently, "The Advocate". After years living in the Boundary Waters area (a region of wilderness straddling the Canada-United States border), Tim and his wife of nearly six decades, Mary, now reside on Minnehaha Creek in the Minneapolis suburb of Minnetonka. They’re the proud parents to six children and a dozen grands. https://www.timmunkeby.com
