“CRASH PROOF WEALTH”

Troy Ragan grew up in Lago Vista, Texas (just outside of Austin), in a family of five. He was the eldest of three with a younger sister, Tammy, and a younger brother, Jeff. One of his greatest memories growing up was playing golf with his dad. Troy’s father traveled most of the week for work, but each Saturday, he carved out some time to tee it up with Troy.

Troy married at the young age of 22 but lost his wife to brain cancer thirteen years later. Eleven years afterward, he and his daughter, Jordyn, moved to Georgia, where he would marry his new wife, Carson (he’s actually been married eight years, but he says it still feels new) and create a new family with his incredible four step-children: Macauly, Kelsey, Austin, and Brannan. He met Carson on eHarmony and grew from a family of two to a family of seven!

Troy enjoys anything that he’s doing with Carson, including watching Rom-coms, dancing, fishing, SCUBA diving, and hanging out together on the beach. He also enjoys golfing and binging sci-fi shows on Netflix when Carson is on call at the hospital (she’s a Certified Nurse Midwife and delivers babies for a living). But for him, creating new traditions and memories with his “new” family are the most important things in life.

Troy has taught countless seminars and webinars across the country on creating retirement income, and he’s featured as an author of bestselling book Crash Proof Wealth. He is also a producer of the Hollywood documentary, The Baby Boomer Dilemma.

One of Troy’s daughters has cerebral palsy, so he’s thankful to be able to contribute to the Cerebral Palsy Foundation, whose mission is not only to make strides in preventing CP but to also help create positive change for people with CP.
