Kirk Stafford

Kirk Stafford, owner and portfolio manager at Desert Rose Capital Management, Inc., has been a pioneering force in finance since founding The Stafford Corporation in 1997, leading to his early retirement at 32.

His work focuses on combining exchange-traded options with conservative assets to enhance performance while minimizing risk. Beyond IOP, Kirk's introduction of insurance as a bond substitute in 2008 and the development of The Flexmethod in 2014—utilizing life insurance cash values for secured lines of credit—showcase his commitment to creating stable, high-return financial strategies. Kirk's contributions to finance are not just about wealth accumulation but offering strategies that ensure long-term financial security and growth.
