About

I’m a CFP® professional with experience as a financial advisor and in supporting advisors across multiple branches. I help students prepare for securities licensing exams by breaking complex topics into plain language and focusing on how to apply them to exam questions. Whether you’re working through investment products, suitability, or registration rules, we’ll identify where you’re getting stuck, build a focused study plan, and practice until you can explain the concepts with confidence. My goal is to make our sessions practical, encouraging, and tailored to the way you learn.

Mike’s Wealth Management Qualifications

Experience level: Director

I’ve spent nearly a decade in wealth management across advisor, leadership, and advisor-development roles at firms including JPMorgan, Merrill Lynch, and independent wealth management organizations. I’m a CFP® professional and have experience across client acquisition, practice development, financial planning, advisor productivity, career progression, and navigating the expectations of large financial institutions. Today, much of my work centers on supporting and developing financial advisors—helping them build stronger practices, prioritize the right activities, work through business challenges, and accelerate their development. My coaching style is practical and conversational, with an emphasis on turning broad goals into specific actions that advisors can actually implement.

Mike can help with:

Estate Planning

Financial Planning

Investment Strategy

Retirement Planning

Tax Planning

Why do I coach?

I coach because I know how frustrating it can be to study for an exam and still feel unsure when you face a practice question. Often, a different explanation or a chance to talk it through is what makes the concept click. I enjoy helping people reach that moment. Passing the exam matters, but I also want you to leave our sessions feeling more confident about the work you’re preparing to do.
