ChFC®, MQFP®
Member, NextGen Advisory Task Force
Brandon Lovingier, ChFC®, MQFP®, is the owner of Your Virtual Paraplanner, a paraplanning business he created in 2019. His blog, Enlisted Money, helps enlisted service members on their personal finance journey.
Lovingier worked “in the margins” while on active duty to pursue his education, earning the Chartered Financial Consultant® (ChFC®) designation in 2022. He is one of the first to hold the Military Qualified Financial Planner (MQFP®) designation, and is currently pursuing the Accredited Financial Counselor (AFC®) designation. He is a frequent guest on personal finance podcasts and a regular contributor to the Military Families Magazine. Lovingier has also been a speaker at MilMoneyCon. His book, Enlist to Wealth, is currently in the editing stages.
Lovingier has a passion for helping people with their finances. He enlisted into the Army right out of high school, but he wasn’t always good with money. Now, Lovingier and his wife are debt free and building wealth. Gaining control of their finances made such a positive difference, and Lovingier is dedicated to helping others eliminate financial worry and stress from their lives.
Lovingier is set to retire from the Army in February 2026. He’ll return to Kansas City with his wife and son to continue pursuing his passions.
