Victor Delacruz is a former Air Force Officer and the founder and CEO of The Christian Planner, a 7-figure company that helps christians integrate God into their daily life. Victor founded The Christian Planner in 2016, hit number 92 on the Inc. 5000 in 2020 and they currently have 50,000 active users.  After 4 years of military service, Victor moved to Manhattan to attend graduate school at NYU and to chase his dreams. The pressures of the Big Apple quickly got to him and depression soon followed. Victor created the Christian Planner as a way to schedule time with God in his own routine. He quickly realized that including Christ in his daily goal-setting, planning and journaling routine made him more productive, more focused and less prone to stress and anxiety. He decided to start Christian Planner to help other Christians put Christ at the center of their daily routines and experience the same benefits he did.
