Hello, and welcome to LeeHuffman.com
Career
I worked in banking and financial services for more than 20 years. My career included writing business plans, bankruptcy consulting, banking sales, and corporate finance before leaving the corporate world to become a full-time freelance writer in 2018.
BaldThoughts.com was my first website, and it launched in 2012. Writing on this site provided an excellent opportunity for me to grow my writing, SEO, and marketing skills. Since then I’ve launched other niche sites that help consumers & small businesses maximize their spending and save money.
After moving to Nashville from Southern California, I launched the podcast “We Travel There with Lee Huffman” in September 2018. In this weekly podcast, I interview local experts from around the world to discover the best things to do in their cities. We now have over 200 destination guides available for cities on every continent, and we’re always looking for more guests.
In the freelance world, I write about various personal finance and money topics for numerous major online publications. These topics include travel, credit cards, loyalty programs, investing, insurance, banking, real estate, and early retirement. You can view a sample of my current and previous clients on my portfolio page.
I love to network and meet new people. Connect with me on LinkedIn and introduce yourself.
Overall, my goal is to teach people how to travel more, spend less, and live better.
Personal
When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my wife, kids, and pets. With both kids playing club soccer, our nights and weekends are often filled with training, “friendlies,” or tournaments.
We are fortunate to travel regularly… but most of our trips are on the weekends or during the summer due to work, sports, and school schedules. Our goal is to see a home game for each of the NFL, MLB, NHL, and NBA teams. I’m a lucky guy because my wife and kids love sports almost as much as I do. If nothing else, going to a game gives us a reason to visit cities that we might not otherwise want to… or that we would put off for lack of a “reason” to visit.
We have traveled pretty extensively across the United States and have traveled to numerous countries, including Mexico, France, England, Denmark, the Netherlands, Costa Rica, and numerous Caribbean islands. Follow our adventures at BaldThoughts.com or on social media (TikTok, Instagram, Twitter).
