Our Story

I’m Gregg Pechmann.

A lot people hire someone to write their “About Page”. To me, that defeats the whole purpose.

I want you to hear my story coming directly from me. Not some “ghost writer” half way across the country.

So here it is:

I left college in 1993, and started my own manufacturing business. Yes, I do have a degree but let’s be honest…I learned more about life being in business the first 3 months then I did with 4 years of college. (If you are looking for the guy with all the letters at the end of the name, I’m not him. I’m the guy with the “real life” experiences with a ton of common sense.)

I started real estate investing in the late ’90′s and became a mortgage loan officer in 2002.

I was eventually earning up to $750,000 a year, owned over $6 million dollars in real estate.

Everything was going great until…..

It all came crashing down. I had go through 7 short sales and somehow keep our family together.

It was a complete nightmare.

But the funny thing about failure is that …….it is only failure if you did not learn something from it.

I learned big time. I know what works and what doesn’t work. Finances is 90% behavior and 10% head knowledge.

I became a certified coach with Dave Ramsey in 2008 and since then opened up Pechmann Coaching.

I love helping others dream BIG with their finances. It’s not just about being debt free (let’s face it, that alone is pretty boring). I mean, dreaming about paying cash for a new car. Dreaming about that trip to Hawaii. And my favorite, dreaming and blessing others who are less fortunate. How cool would that be?

Oh yeah…that pic in the upper left hand corner is my family. My wife Sharon, and our girls, Annabelle and Francesca. I am truly a blessed man!
