About

Brian Page spent 15 years as a personal finance and economics educator. I was recognized as a National Educator of the Year by the Milken Foundation and Ohio Department of Education, a CNN Money Hero, a CEE Forbes Award winner, and a former Working Group Member of the U.S. President's Advisory Council on Financial Capability. During that time, I also helped develop personal finance content for Next Gen Personal Finance, VISA, the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School KWHS program, George Washington University GLFEC, and the Ohio Department of Education. I served in advisory roles with the Council on Economic Education (National) and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, where I am now a Visiting Scholar. Brian accepted a senior-level position with Next Gen Personal Finance when moving to the Atlanta area to support his wife's career. Life and family change, and his priority now are to support my wife's career ambitions and my children's needs while working to grow the Modern Husbands community.
