Some of the authors that he will be co-writing with include Sharon Lechter (co-author of Rich Dad Poor Dad), Brian Tracy, Kevin Harrington (original shark from Shark Tank), and John Assaraf. As a prolific writer, Dr. Criniti has also contributed articles to Entrepreneur, Medium, and Thrive Global.

Even though he was born into a poor working-class family, he had successfully rolled over about half of a billion dollars in retirement money by the age of 24. After Vanguard, Dr. Criniti worked as a respected and sought-after financial planner for many years before becoming a world-renowned finance professor at several universities. Throughout his professional financial career, he has also always been involved in the investment and development of real estate.
Dr. Criniti holds a PhD in applied management and decision sciences with a concentration in finance. He earned his BBA at the prestigious The George Washington University with a concentration in international business.
