Jeff Goodman

Product Support Specialist

Jeff Goodman, a Warrenville, IL native, earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in marketing from Taylor University while involved in performing arts and four years playing football. After working with one of the largest investment management firms in the country, he realized an unfortunate gap in financial education for those preparing for retirement. Over the last decade he’s sought to help people uncover ways to potentially grow their assets while reducing risk. He believes it is not only what you make, but what you keep, that creates long term wealth. At Kabri Financial he works behind the scenes, specializing in product positioning and analysis, working toward helping people worry less about money.

He is a husband to his lovely bride of (close to) 7 years, a father of three (and one on the way!), and part-time staff as Sports Ministry Coordinator at Grace Church of Dupage, where his family is heavily involved.
