Where It All Began
Hi, I’m Colin!
My Disney story started back in 2012 as a Jungle Cruise Skipper at Walt Disney World. Every day, I got to share corny jokes, point out the famous “back side of water,” and create a little magic for the guests on my boat. But the best part wasn’t just the jokes (though I still love those!) — it was being part of a community of cast members who cared deeply about making magic for others.
Why Cast Members
That experience shaped how I see the world and inspired me to create Cast Member Financial after career detours in investment management, everything financial planning and banking (there’s not much I haven’t done!). I know what it’s like to live the cast member life — the highs, the challenges, and the dreams for the future. That’s why I became a Certified Financial Planner™ and decided to dedicate my work to helping Disney cast members—past, present, and future—navigate their financial journeys.
What We Do
Cast Member Financial is about more than just numbers and spreadsheets. It’s about supporting the people who make the magic happen, helping them feel confident about their money, and making sure their financial story is as meaningful as the memories they’ve created in the parks.
Our Story, Together
Once a cast member, always a cast member — and I’m here to help you plan for the chapters ahead. After all, I started out telling stories on the Jungle Cruise, and now I get to help cast members tell their own stories through their financial lives.
