About Ninja
I haven’t been very happy with my “About Ninja” page. I wrote it in the infancy of my blogging career, and after reading many others “About me” sections, I decided it’s time to revamp mine. So without further ado, I would like to introduce you to me 
(you can find the old about me page here).
First things first, I have NO financial credentials. Zilch, nada, zero. The extent of my financial knowledge comes from books, the news, other blogs, and conversations with friends. I don’t know the formula for compound interest, I don’t know what “fiduciary risk” (haha I said douche) means, and I don’t work in the financial sector. That said, I did pay off $28K in two years, and am now debt free!!!
Okay, now that you know what I’m not, let’s take a little look in to what I am…
I am a normal, 25 year old bad a$$ mother lover (love ya Mom Ninja). I have a bachelors in Psychology from a very tiny school that none of you will have ever heard of. I live in San Diego, CA Seattle, WA. I have worked for the Federal Government for 4 years doing investigations. I blog anonymously ’cause I’m scared some crazy blog reader will begin stalking me, eventually attack me, cut my skin off, and then wear it.
I look like this…
Oh wait, that’s Brad Pitt…oops…I mean I look like this…
Aside from my love of finances…
I also enjoy rapping and have even made three Personal Finance raps. I only wear socks made by Puma (I know I’m weird). I love volunteering for a high school youth group called Young Life. I love my fiancee, and soon to be wife (EDIT: GIRL NIJA BECAME WIFE NINJA ON AUGUST 8th, 2010!!!!). I have recently gotten in to photography. And I use to compete nationally in BMX (bicycle motocross).
Here’s a picture of me with all of my BMX trophies…
Some things that make me different than the average 24 year old dude…
I don’t drink. I’ve never been to a strip club. I have maxed out my Roth IRA contributions for the last three years. I go to church every Sunday. I have little desire to travel the world. I have a positive net worth. And most importantly… I hate chocolate.
What you can expect from me...
Punch Debt In The Face is an adaptive blog. It started out being strictly finance, with little or no variation. As I began to post more personal issues, I noticed my viewership/subscriber statistics increased. That’s when the lightbulb went off. People want personal finance to be personal. I use to think people would come to my blog to gain some financial knowledge so they could make well informed decisions. I’m coming to terms with the fact that that is simply not true.
So here is my promise to you…
I, Ninja, promise to keep this blog authentic, personal, and real. I also promise terrible grammar, horrible spelling, and childlike artwork (see stick figure picture above). I promise to heed my own advice, as well as seek wisdom from you readers. But most importantly, I promise to keep personal finance less boring.

This is cool Debt Ninja. Guess we must be mortal enemies because I am Financial Samurai! lol
Wow, We are glad to have found this blog. We already added to our RSS feeds. Thanks!
You should really get into traveling the world, even if it's just to confirm how AWESOME San Diego is. America's Finest City! Nice pics – looks like one was taken from Coronado, and the other from Sunset Cliffs?
you have one of the funniest personal finance blog I've ever stumbled upon. I love the way you write and how its directed to young audience like me! Keep it up!
Gee! You look and sound so much like my brother. I wonder if you are his twin. On second thought, you can't be. He doesn't go to church that often.
Continue to keep your blog real. That's the most enjoyable part!
I read your page on Extreme Couponing and replied before reading your personal profile. I thought you’d be a middle age woman! Oh well. I lived in Temecula for 35 years before moving to another state. Enjoyed your BMX photo because my son raced at the BMX Super Track in Lake Elsinore years ago. It was a good family time traveling around. S. California to the various races. San Diego is a great city.
