Mark Clark

After many years in banking, I found it very satisfying to help clients manage their personal and business choices and began MONEYdawg $olution$ in 2010. My goal is to provide financial coaching to people of all levels, beginner to advanced, for those who are normally unable to afford coaching. Interested? Don't hesitate to contact me!

Foster Leaders Movement

I am a proud Ally of the Foster Leaders Movement, which is a national and state-specific non-profit organization whose purpose is to identify and nurture the personal, professional, and community leadership interests of current and former foster youth and listed on the National Resource X-Change. 

As part of my contribution to this organization, I not only offer Pro Bono coaching to foster youth ages 16 and up, but I also provide under-market hourly fees for anyone needing financial advice.

Website design supported by Hack the Hood, TeenForce, and Silicon Valley Children's Fund
