ABOUT US
Bonita Bell-Andersen
CLU, ChFC
Investor Coach
Bonita K Bell-Andersen, CLU, ChFC is an author, investor coach, fiduciary and financial advisor, focusing on the science of investing and financial education. In the past few years, she has focused on creating educational experiences and utilizing platforms and tools that make Nobel Prize-winning investing processes accessible to all investors and their families. The end goal is helping families transform their relationship to money and really find the purpose for their money and ultimately, their life. A highly inquisitive and engaged individual, “Bonnie” also comes from a robust background in business, finance and communications.
She is the author of “Suddenly Wealthy, An Athlete’s Guide to Winning the Money Game”, and two co-authored books “You Are a Genius” (which was an Amazon #1 International Best Seller), and “Secrets of a Stress-Free Retirement (How to Make Sure You Don’t Outlive Your Nest Egg)”. Her greatest recognition remains the gratitude of the families and businesses she has helped by assisting with their financial affairs with honesty and integrity. It is because of this that Bonita has garnered not only life-long clients, but life-long relationships with others.
She spent her formative years in the Pacific Northwest, but can truly be classified as a world traveler as she has had the opportunity to travel all over the world, including 4 years in Germany while her 1st husband was serving at Ramstein Air Force Base. She is the mother of three successful daughters and frequently spends time with her ten grandchildren. Her now-husband Butch has 4 sons and thirteen grandchildren so someone’s birthday is always popping up!
When her schedule permits, Bonnie teaches financial and retirement planning workshops at local libraries and universities. She has “given back knowledge” as an educator since the 1980’s onward. Volunteer work with various non-profits in the United States has also always been a big part of Bonnie’s life, and she continues to contribute to several community-based initiatives in her spare time. She is a “sometimes” golfer now, having gotten into the new craze of pickleball. She is also an avid scuba diver, enjoying adventures around the world, and now focusing her trips on coral reef restoration projects, her passion related to giving back to the world. In her free time, Bonnie enjoys cooking, hiking with their two Cavalier King Charles “puppies”, sewing, and creative projects. She splits her time between the Pacific Northwest in the summer and warmer, southern climes in the winter.
