BACKGROUND & EXPERIENCE
About Jarrett
Hockey has been a big part of my life. I played four years of NCAA Division I hockey at Clarkson University on scholarship, where I earned a degree in Financial Information & Analysis. After that came ten years of professional hockey, mostly in the AHL, with a stop in Norway along the way.
When my playing days wrapped up, one question took over: what's next, and how do I set my family up for the future? For me, the answer started at home. Buying our first house got me hooked on real estate, and that's what pushed me to get my licence and begin my investing journey.
I wrote this guide for anyone who wants to start investing and isn't sure how. The hardest part is taking the first step.
