DuRand Bryant
My name is DuRand Bryant. I am an IT leader by day, but my secret identity is YNAB coach! I enjoy helping people understand the deeper principles of YNAB while suggesting approaches to breaking bad spending habits.
My Background
I'm a dad, a husband, and an IT professional with about 30 years of experience in the field. I was introduced to YNAB years ago by a client who paid for his lunch, entered his receipt in YNAB, and then promptly threw the receipt away. He then went on to explain to me how much freedom he felt using the tool. A few weeks later, my boss introduced me to YNAB. I took the hint the universe was trying to give me and gave YNAB a try. That was years ago, and I've been a user since!
Why Work with Me
This may sound silly, but...one word: Fun. If you want to learn about budgeting in a way that won't actually put you to sleep, I'm your person.
Why I Coach
My reasoning is simple: I've made about every money mistake one could make, and I want to help others avoid making the same mistakes or course correcting if they do.
