About the team
Built by a family.
Troy and Katie Williams created Riches Redeemed for their own four children — then opened it up to other families and co-ops who wanted the same thing.
Troy Williams
SVP, Enterprise Data Strategy & Administration · U.S. Bank
Troy has spent over two decades at the intersection of finance, strategy, and leadership. From McKinsey boardrooms to U.S. Bank's enterprise data organization, his career has been defined by a single thread: using expertise to create clarity in complex systems. Riches Redeemed is the product of that same conviction — applied to the next generation.
Katie Williams
Health & Fitness Educator · Homeschool Mom · TCU BBA
Katie holds a BBA in Marketing and Communications from Texas Christian University. She teaches health and fitness and homeschools the couple's four children, ages 12–16. As the curriculum's first and most rigorous tester, Katie ensures every chapter works not just in theory, but at the kitchen table — where real learning happens. Her feedback has shaped the curriculum's tone, pacing, and practical application throughout.

Why Riches Redeemed?
“I wrote this curriculum because I saw a gap that bothered me. High schoolers were graduating without understanding how money actually works — not just budgeting, but the industries, systems, and institutions that shape their financial lives. And the existing options either ignored faith entirely or treated it as a decorative add-on. I wanted to build something where Scripture isn't just quoted — it's the foundation every chapter is built on. Where a student doesn't just learn to balance a checkbook, but understands why the banking system exists, how the tax code works, and what God says about all of it.”
— Troy Williams
