My Journey

Jose L. Martin is a Certified Financial Planner™ Professional who owns and runs his own firm, LifeCraft Wealth Management. In his more than 2 decades in the financial services industry, he has advised hundreds of individuals and couples on their journey to financial freedom. 

While working as a financial planner, his teenage daughter went viral on the burgeoning social media app, musical.ly (now TikTok) where she gained over 35 million followers. That experience - combined with his professional background - gave Jose a uniquely qualified perspective to understand the different pathways to financial freedom that present themselves to people of all ages and walks of life in the 21st century. It also inspired him to write “The Dollar Farmer” to share those insights with others with the hopes that they’d be able to achieve financial freedom and fulfillment. 

Jose lives in South Florida and enjoys golf, travel, wine tastings, writing, and good conversation. He is happily married to the love of his life, his high school sweetheart Sharon. Together, they have two amazing children - Ariel and Jacob - who inspire him each day to leave the world a better place than he found it.
