Beginnings
Eamon Gordon
Founder & Developer, Financedu
My lifelong interest in finance began when I received an iPod touch on my fourth birthday. I tapped an unfamiliar chart icon and was fascinated by the graphs and real-time changes, which I later discovered to be the Stocks app. Since then, I have followed financial news and the stock market daily, and my interest in finance has deepened as I’ve grown older.
​
But Financedu in its current form began on a summer morning in 2021, when I was completing an application for the 2021 Broadcom MASTERS National Science Fair. Inspired by an essay question that asked me to create a novel school course, I have devoted much of my free time since then to developing free online financial education courses and resources, which has become Financedu.org.
Given its importance in modern society, I am passionate about universal and free access to financial education. I'm happy that you've found our website!
​
Sincerely,
Eamon
