James G. Welcome, author of the Welcome Family Wealth Adventures books

Building a legacy starts at home.

MEET THE AUTHOR — JAMES G. WELCOME

James is a husband, father, business owner, real estate professional, entrepreneur, and published author. He created these stories to help families introduce important life and financial skills early.

“As a father, entrepreneur, and real estate professional, I believe financial education should begin at home.

Our children need opportunities to learn about saving, entrepreneurship, growing money responsibly, and ownership.

That's why I created the Family Adventures children's book series.

Because building a legacy starts at home.”
