Resolving to address this issue, Mr. Hevner
founded the NAOI in 1997 to provide the public with the serious
education they needed to become confident and successful
investors. For this purpose, he created the nation’s first
comprehensive and academically rigorous investor education
curriculum called the NAOI
Confident Investing Series. This offering consists of five
multimedia courses that were then, and continue to be today, the
gold standard of personal investor education.
Thousands of students have graduated from Mr.
Hevner’s courses, accessed at naoi.org,
and the NAOI has emerged as the nation’s premier provider of
college-level, investor education.
In addition to his
activities at the NAOI, Mr. Hevner also teaches the art and science of
personal investing in the college classroom in the Washington
D.C. area where he continues to revise his course content
based on
the input of his students and his ongoing monitoring of market
dynamics.
The national media have recognized Mr.
Hevner’s status as a leading authority and innovator in the field of
investor education as well as a strong advocate for the average
person with money to invest. He has appeared on the three major
commercial TV networks, ABC, CBS, and NBC, as well as multiple
times on the CNBC business channel as an expert commentator. He has been interviewed
extensively on radio stations across the United States and is
often quoted in the national press.
Mr. Hevner has also
provided consulting services to financial organizations around
the world with his latest project being for the government of
Dubai where he was tasked with setting up a personal investing training
curriculum that would empower the country's citizens to
participate in the economic growth of the area.
Mr. Hevner holds a B.S. degree in Computer
Science from the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology and an MBA
from Purdue University. He lives and works in Washington, D.C.
where the National Association of Online Investors is based.
