About Me

"STREET CRED"

Ken Lanuza, “Mr. L” to many of his students, is a teacher, father, husband and entrepreneur with more than 30 years of hands-on experience investing in the stock market, investing in real estate, and owning a business.

Present Day

After a career in education and business, and as a life-long investor, Mr. L is teaching crucial financial skills to as many students as he can reach. To prepare younger generations, he combined two passions, investing and teaching, into a financial literacy program. His program incorporates key money management principles—saving, planning, and Investing—through both a quick-reference financial guide, Mr. L’$ Money Guide: Building Wealth, and several one-hour interactive classes.

"The bottom line is that you go into education because you want to make a difference. There is nothing more gratifying than helping students learn, grow, and gain confidence as they lay the foundation for what we all hope is a fulfilling life."

-MR. L
