Name: Steve Spain
MFF Role: Executive Director
In his current role as Executive Director at MFF, Steve is focused on growing MFF’s impact throughout the country in helping students get on the path toward financial independence. Steve is passionate about personal finance and its role in creating a great life for individuals. When formerly working as a Financial Advisor at Edward Jones Investments, Steve found himself having more conversations with people about getting by, paying their rent or mortgage, and putting food on the table – as opposed to investing and getting the best return on their money. It became clear that more people needed financial literacy help than investment products and there weren’t many resources available. When Steve first learned about MFF in 2020, he started volunteering to help out as it was a passion of his, which evolved into him becoming Executive Director in 2022.
Steve brings an extensive background as a business owner, investor, and advisor. He has worked in diverse capacities within real estate, marketing, business development, and financial planning.
Interests Outside of Work: Steve and his Wife, Kelly, live in NH, where they are raising three young children. Steve enjoys getting outside hiking and mountain biking, coaching wrestling, yoga, traveling, reading, learning.
