About Tj Binkowski

Hi, I'm Tj Binkowski. Most people like to know the face behind the scenes so I'll take a swing at talking a little it about myself even though I'm not a big fan of it.

I love my family with all my heart, my boys Eli, Connor & Jack are my pride and joy and I'm forever grateful to my gorgeous wife, Emmalei, who's stuck with me through thick and thin and prayed for God's favor on my ability to lead us as a husband and father the whole way through.

I love connecting with people, I ask a billion & one questions normally (which can be a little exhausting) but truthfully I just want to know people deeply.

The song & dance of small talk, how's the weather, did you read the news yesterday has never appealed to me. It's the beautiful little picadilloes that belong to everyone that I love to know about and making people so darn interesting to me.

For example, I was my wife's first (and last) boyfriend, she was also an incredibly talented Army officer & biomedical engineer before I swept her away to Kansas where there were no jobs, sorry honey.

My oldest boy loves holding hands & he wears glasses so he has this adorable little nose squinch to situate them when they fall down.

My middle boy is one of the most naturally funny kids I've ever been around and has this wonderful little mischievous side eye whenever he's about to play a joke or tickle you.

My youngest is just now developing into his personality but he loves to wrestle. He'll crawl over head down and nuzzle into us whenever we get to wrestling as a family giggling the whole time.

And as for me, I've said all I wanted to be was a dad ever since I was like 15 (which got me a lot of weird looks from my friends) but God has granted me that dream and I'm loving every minute of it. I also have a regrettable tattoo of my favorite Dr. Seuss quote which my oldest periodically reminds me of... "Daddy, why did you draw on yourself? And why won't it come off?"

It's those little things that you can only know about people when you get past the platitudes that make life so wonderful to live.

My family, my dear friends, and my faith are the reason I do what I do.

My mission is to allow you to spend joyfully right now without sacrificing your desires to give to charity and spoil your kids' kids... in a nutshell it's to put money back in the servant role that it belongs.

Because money makes for a terrible, terrible master.

About Narrow Road Financial Planning

At Narrow Road Financial Planning, our philosophy is built on being fee-only and fiduciary, ensuring your best interests are always our priority. With “skin in the game,” our success is tied to yours—we’re incentivized to grow your wealth, not driven by commissions or sales.

As a faith-based firm, we embrace values like stewardship, self-sufficiency, and positively impacting our community, focusing on meaningful financial goals rather than fleeting luxuries.

Our novel & proven investment strategies deliver both, so you can worry more about how to spend your money rather than "if you can".

Our Solutions

✔️ Novel Investment Strategies Without Minimums

We offer sophisticated investment strategies used by high net worth individuals but without the asset minimum price tag.

✔️ Investment Management

We use a dynamic approach to managing investments for our clients —and ourselves. Our process focuses on strategies with over 100 years of research validation & are grounded in human psychology.

✔️ Diversification

Our portfolios are great as a standalone investment or paired with other strategies. Their uncorrelated ("different") returns make them a fantastic addition alongside buy-and-hold, real estate or small business holdings.

How We’re Different

While Tj brings deep expertise in investment management, Sam leads the Planning side of the firm—creating the financial blueprints that support the investment strategy and everything else.

This division allows us to do what we each do best—Tj stays focused on market strategy, while Sam helps our clients navigate life with a holistic and intentional plan.

We also offer specialized paraplanning services to other advisors and provide pro bono planning for individuals in need. It’s part of our commitment to faithful stewardship and community care.
