Hi, I am Steve Bulmer. I have always been fascinated by how money works. For a long time that did not mean that I was managing it successfully. I was more like this Stickman guy. For 30 years I read about it, studied it and tried just about every hair brained get rich quick scheme that was shown to me...all for naught. Finally, after going to the brink of bankruptcy several times I put my life back together step by step using all the things I had learned. Now I am comfortably set to weather any financial storm up to the apocalypse.

I was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I graduated from the University of Calgary in 1975 with a BA in Economics with a minor in Psychology. This perspective and the analytical skills learned from this education stayed with me through my life. This, the books I have read and my life experiences have combined to form the background for my writing.

My working life included the occupations of truck driving, accounting, landscaping, grocery clerking, bartending, ski instructing, paving, painting and farming. I finally settled on a career in the airline industry and spent 26 years with Air Canada. I did not climb the corporate ladder but worked in a leadership position. I focused on managing a balanced life outside of that job.

I retired at age 52 and we are mortgage free. I live near the beach town of White Rock, British Columbia with my lovely wife and blended family that includes 4 children. There I continue to manage my life and am pleased to have joined the publishing revolution.
