DJ Wetzel

DJ Wetzel brings a unique insider's perspective to personal finance writing: he works in financial services at a large public university, giving him a front-row seat to how colleges and universities actually handle financial aid. Based in the Southeast, where he lives with his wife and young daughter, DJ writes about the intersection of higher education and personal finance with the authority of someone who operates within that world every day.

His contributions to The College Investor are especially valuable for readers trying to understand the financial side of higher education — not just how to pay for college, but how to think critically about the institutions they are considering.
