Financial Planning for Aspiring Athletes and Their Families

Dear families and young athletes of Hawaii,

Aloha, my name is Travis Ganiko, I am an aspiring CFP and CPA, living in Pearl City, Hawaii. I am also co-founder of VarsityPrep, a local sports development organization from the University of Hawaii. In VarsityPrep, our main mission is to utilize college students in local campuses to help foster positive growth in the local sporting communities. We want to show kids in Hawaii that the opportunity to play sports in  high school and even college is within their grasp. All they need to do is commit themselves wholly and fully to accomplishing that dream.


Not only must the child commit to this vision, but the family unit as a whole must also commit in order to give the child the best possible chance to be successful. Dedicating a life to sports is a significant challenge to families who do not have the resources or time to sacrifice. As a specialist in financial planning, I want to turn my knowledge into a resources for the families of Hawaii who want their children to have a better life than their parents had growing up.

I am dedicating my services to help families in these areas:

  • Personal Finance
  • Insurance Planning
  • College Financing
  • Saving for College and other long term goals
  • NCAA eligibility requirements 
  • Sports training networking
