About GFI Fintech
MEET THE FINTECH AGENCY OWNER
Hey, I'm Bob Mann!
At 54, my life changed when I suffered a stroke. The physical and emotional challenges were overwhelming, but my faith in God gave me strength and purpose. In the midst of financial hardship and uncertainty, I realized how unprepared I was and how many others faced the same struggles.
That experience inspired me to enter the world of financial services. My mission is simple: to help families plan ahead, protect their wealth, and face life’s uncertainties with confidence. I focus on estate planning, long-term financial security, and empowering people through education—making financial strategies accessible to everyone, not just the elite.
Today, I guide clients as both a consultant and a coach, helping them build legacies and find peace of mind. My journey taught me that financial planning isn’t just about numbers—it’s about transforming lives. Along the way, I’ve also become a builder of teams—recruiting, mentoring, and empowering others to grow, lead, and create impact together.
