TOWN OF MERTON - Twenty-four-yearold
entrepreneur Bryan Sims knows what it’s like to worry about money,
so he wants to educate as many young people as possible about
entrepreneurship and sound money management.
"I came from a background where
I didn’t have a whole lot of money," Sims said. "I was
the first person in my family to invest, but I had a good support
system."
Sims, of Corvallis, Ore., is founder and CEO of brass|MEDIA Inc.,
which publishes brass|MAGAZINE, a lifestyle money magazine for young
adults. He also founded the brass|STUDENT PROGRAM, in order to
educate high school students about entrepreneurship and money
management. Sims spoke to about 60 business students at Arrowhead
High School on Wednesday morning.
Local legislators and teachers have said students in the state are
woefully uneducated in matters of personal finance, a fact that has
dire consequences for both them and credit lenders in today’s
harsh economic climate.
