About Kevin Fringer
Kevin Fringer is an author, speaker, financial professional, and nationally recognized specialist in serving the higher education and collegiate athletics communities.
As Founder and President of Collegiate Financial Group, Kevin has spent more than 25 years working with colleges, universities, athletic departments, administrators, faculty, coaches, and staff across the country. His experience has taken him to more than 100 college campuses in 35 states, giving him a unique understanding of the financial challenges, benefit structures, career realities, and opportunities facing higher education professionals.
Kevin's Higher Education and Collegiate Athletics programs focus on financial education, financial wellness, professional development, retirement and benefits planning, and financial risk awareness. His sessions are educational—not product-driven—and combine real-world experience with practical strategies participants can immediately apply to their financial lives and careers.
Kevin is also the creator of NichDominance™, a business-growth philosophy and system built around a simple idea: the fastest path to becoming more valuable is often becoming more relevant to a specific audience.
Drawing from nearly three decades of experience building a highly specialized financial practice, Kevin teaches financial advisors, insurance professionals, consultants, and other service professionals how to identify the right niche, develop meaningful expertise, build authority within a community, reduce competition, create more efficient growth, and ultimately become the recognized specialist in the markets they serve.
Whether he is speaking to a room of university leaders and coaches or an audience of financial professionals and entrepreneurs, Kevin brings the same approach: understand the audience, make the message relevant, and give people ideas they can actually use.
His programs are practical, energetic, highly relatable, and customized to the audience—because Kevin believes the most effective speakers don't simply deliver presentations. They understand the people sitting in the room.
