Mark Bonnett

Meet our President and Founder, Mark Bonnett. Mark has engrained himself in the financial services profession for the last two and a half decades. He has focused his time and effort to become a student of personal finance. He enjoys using his experience, insight, passion, and enthusiasm for the profession to lead other professionals towards alignment in all aspects of their lives. Mark’s time on numerous boards and serving non-for-profits fills his bucket, as does the domestic and international speaking that he is regularly asked to do. Providing perspective, motivation, and education to thousands of people at a time through keynote and breakout sessions is one way that he builds and empowers others to become the best versions of themselves. Mark has also served as adjunct faculty at multiple universities which has helped fulfill his desire to educate. As a graduate from the University of Arizona with a degree in finance, he is a wildcat at heart.

Mark resides in Scottsdale, Arizona with his bride, Shawna, and their two spectacular daughters, Macy, and Presley. He loves to travel extensively. However, he is completely content taking time slowly on a Colorado trout stream with a fly rod in hand or reading a good book on our boat at Lake Powell. If he won the lottery, he would buy a yacht, a ranch, and an island! Mark’s bucket list destination is the Galapagos Islands. His chosen superpower would be requiring no sleep. You can catch him rooting for the Broncos, Cardinals, or U of A! Growing up, Mark wanted to be a marine biologist or stock broker (Alex P. Keaton). He favors a good book over a movie, music over audiobooks, time on the beach over the mountains, coffee over tea, wine over beer and most outdoor adventures! His favorite color is blue and favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. He loves Apple Pie!

He does not enjoy raw tomatoes, egos, mean people and a lack of loyalty!
