Randall Wall is an Oak Harbor, WA fee-only financial planner and owner of Penn Cove Financial, LLC.
I began investing with my first mutual fund purchase in 1983. I've continued studying investments and financial planning ever since, becoming a member of the American Association of Individual Investors in 1984. I earned the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (cum laude) at Chapman University and a Master of Business Administration degree at Columbia College of Missouri.
I completed Boston University’s Online Program for Financial Planners in 2006.
Most recently, I began the Master of Science in Finance & Economics at West Texas A&M University online in 2017.
I began formally helping others reach their financial goals in 1991, as the Command Financial Specialist aboard USS Dixon (AS 37), as part of the US Navy’s then-new Personal Financial Management program. I served in the same position at Afloat Training Group in Yokosuka, Japan.
After completing a Navy career, I worked at Bank of America, first in Northwest Dealer Banking, and was soon promoted to Investment Specialist in Retirement Services.
I enjoy helping others apply principles of financial management to their personal situations, and teach courses in: Personal Financial Planning; Business Finance; Principles of Real Estate; and Investments for Columbia College in Oak Harbor and Marysville. I also taught Personal Finance & Investments for Skagit Valley College from 2004 through 2016.
