About Me
With three decades of experience in the financial industry, Mike brings a disciplined, fundamentals-based approach to wealth management. Since joining Stifel in 2019, he has helped clients navigate complex financial decisions with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
Mike holds a B.S. from Northern Michigan University and an MBA from Pepperdine University.
Mike earned the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® certification from the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards Inc., which identifies those individuals who have met the experience requirements of the CFP Board, have successfully completed financial planning coursework, and have passed the CFP® Certification Examination.
As a Portfolio Manager in Stifel’s Solutions Program*, Mike designs and manages customized investment portfolios for clients, aligning each strategy with their unique goals, risk tolerance, and financial objectives. His approach emphasizes discipline, transparency, and long-term value creation.
Outside the office, Mike is deeply committed to personal development and sustainability. He trains in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, teaches Krav Maga, and operates a regenerative farm—bringing the same discipline, resilience, and long-term thinking to his personal life that he applies in his professional practice.
*The Solutions program requires a minimum investment, which varies by strategy. Ask your Financial Advisor for a Disclosure Brochure, which further outlines the fees, services, exclusions, and disclosures associated with this program. Since all investment decisions in a Solutions account are made by the Financial Advisor without having to receive prior client approval, it is important that Solutions clients have detailed knowledge of the Financial Advisor’s individual investment philosophy and decision-making process before entrusting him or her with their portfolio. You should consider all terms and conditions before deciding whether the Solutions Program and any particular strategy are appropriate for your needs.
