Meet Your Coach
Hi, I’m Phillip Durbin — a financial advisor, coach, husband, and dad who’s passionate about helping young people take control of their financial futures.
My wife, Amanda, and I have two energetic boys, ages 5 and 7, who keep life full of sports, laughter, and activity. I coach high school boys basketball, and I’ve loved getting to coach my kids’ teams as well. Coaching has taught me that growth takes consistency, curiosity, and the right guidance — lessons that apply just as much to money as they do to sports.
Before becoming a financial advisor, I worked in community banking and agricultural lending, helping families and businesses manage their finances and plan for the future. But my personal journey is what truly shaped my passion: my family and I went from having zero personal finance knowledge to achieving financial independence in just six years. Along the way, I learned firsthand how powerful it can be to make informed, intentional financial decisions.
Today, as an advice-only financial advisor, my goal is simple — to teach others what I wish I’d known earlier. I love helping people in their 20s and 30s build financial confidence, understand their options, and design a life that gives them freedom and purpose — without the stress or confusion that often surrounds money.
