About Garrett Knobf

I am a Marine Corps veteran and hold a Bachelor's degree in Finance from Chapman University. My background spans originations, capital markets, the secondary mortgage market, REOs, and commercial assets. I specialize in translating complex industry wisdom into robust, first-principle systems.
At First Principle Analytics, I bridge the gap between veteran expertise and scalable business systems. I build the tools, models, and workflows that turn institutional knowledge into something measurable and repeatable—solutions designed to grow with your business.
My goal is to provide investors with the analytical firepower needed to make data-driven decisions, whether through custom Excel models, sophisticated pricing engines for distressed debt, or robust backend data systems.
