About Cleverdude

Mike founded CleverDude.com in June 2006 while working as a technical analyst in the Washington, D.C. area. A Penn State graduate, he built the site as a side project alongside a white-collar career that included earning a master’s degree and multiple promotions.

In five years he wrote nearly 1,300 articles on personal finance and life lessons drawn from his own experience. The blog grew from a hobby into a recognized early voice in the personal-finance community and generated meaningful revenue. He sold the site in 2010, continued as a guest contributor through 2015, and returned in 2023 after further career advances, paying off his home, and extensive travel.

    Actually, my wife submitted the article to me unsolicited. She has her own nutrition blog, but she’s finding it difficult to maintain ANY regularity in posting.

    I too have motivation to lose weight. After trying on some clothes at some stores last week, I vowed I wouldn’t buy any new clothes until I lost 25 lbs. This could be a while, since we’re also going to be training for another marathon soon.
