Marcus Chen

Marcus Chen spent 12 years as a financial analyst at JPMorgan Chase before discovering his true passion: helping families understand the real costs of pet ownership. His transition from Wall Street to pet finance wasn't planned—it started when he adopted a French Bulldog and was stunned by the unexpected expenses.

That experience led Marcus to apply his analytical skills to the pet industry. He now specializes in breaking down complex insurance policies, comparing wellness plans, and creating household budgets that realistically account for pet care costs.

Marcus is known for his no-nonsense approach to pet finance. He doesn't sugarcoat the numbers, but he also shows readers how to optimize their spending without compromising their pets' care. His motto: "Love your pet. Know your numbers."

When not crunching pet finance data, Marcus enjoys hiking with his two dogs (the Frenchie and a newly adopted Labrador mix), cooking, and teaching financial literacy workshops in his community.
