Christopher Vanderdeen's Linkedin Analytics

I have over 25 years experience professionally in multiple industries, initially as an executive in the hospitality industry and since 2010 as an entrepreneur. I am committed to professional and personal growth via gaining experience and education. Since becoming an entrepreneur I have been fortunate to assist in building a number of different businesses, mainly lending my expertise with financial management, operations management and sales & marketing, though mainly in brick-and-mortar businesses until 2021, when I began expanding my knowledge of marketing online businesses. I'm a late boomer, but I'm also a quick study. Please forgive me for my weaknesses in social media. I'm fortunate to have a team to assist me in these areas. I earn enough from my investments and brick-and-mortar businesses, all fully automated, allowing me to choose to work instead of needing to work. I don't say this to impress you, but to impress upon you that my main goal is to help people attain financial knowledge and services in areas where they are lacking. The school systems do not prepare entrepreneurs, or even all people in general, with financial literacy, and it's a shame. I'm also a dedicated father, raising my son mainly on my own. Charles is such an important part of my life, and I relish every opportunity I get to spend with him. I'm also very interested in coaching him in areas that are not taught in schools, such as a financial-management and investment education to be sure. I have great relationships with my family and friends, and they are very supportive. My personal interests include personal-development programs; mental toughness challenges; health and fitness; meditation; writing; reading; hiking and biking outdoors; walking and running outdoors; financial education and investing; to name a few of my interests!
