He was conferred a BM in Education from the University of Missouri at St. Louis in May of 1973.

He completed the CFP professional education program (College for Financial Planning, Denver, CO) in 1989.

Financial services career and education: Carl Goodin began his career in finance and insurance in 1979 as an aircraft insurance (property and liability) underwriter. In 1981 he chose to continue serving the aviation community, but in a different capacity, primarily as a life and health insurance producer associated with the company now called Lincoln Financial Group. During this period his clientele expanded from those associated with aviation to include small business owners and other professionals. Also, during this period, he became interested in providing personal financial planning services not focused on life insurance sales. In 1986 he accepted an offer to be the regional manager of the UNUM non-cancelable disability income office in St. Louis, only to return to Lincoln Financial as regional manager in 1988. During this period, he successfully completed the examination requirements for the Missouri Uniform Securities license (Series 63), the Investment Company/Variable Products license (Series 6), the General Securities Representative (stock/bond broker's license, Series 7), the General Securities Principal license (stock/bond broker's supervisor, Series 24) and the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER.

Peakview Strategies
Too often during my prior time in the financial world, I saw companies that operated under old models that cared only about selling products, offered incomplete solutions and outdated technology that’s out of step with how the world works, or incentivized their employees and affiliates for things not in the client’s best interests. It is my intention that Peakview Strategies will fix those shortcomings and bring a select group of clients a new experience unlike what they’ve read about online when working with a stereotypical financial advisor. I’d love the opportunity to be of service if you like what you see. I believe it’s my mission in life to help you win with your money, and I have the professional experience and expertise to make it happen. I care deeply about my clients and want to be their biggest advocates in their unique missions to make the most of their money. The best compliments I’ve received are those who have expressed their gratitude for guidance to results they didn’t think were possible and for encouragement to keep going to get to those destinations. When not working to benefit my clients or honing my craft, you’ll likely find me traveling, spending quality time with family and friends, or enjoying one of my many other hobbies. I’m an avid follower of sports, love smoking meat and tasting bourbon, drinking coffee and like the historical figure I’d love to meet (Winston Churchill), am easily satisfied with the very best. I do my best to undo all the smoked meat and bourbon by plugging in for some quality time exercising.
