Mike's mission is to support and advise his clients on reaching their financial goals. Mike generally works with clients who are corporate executives, small business owners, or are transitioning through a life event (retirement, divorce, inheritance, etc.). From spedning over a decade at a large global bank to founding Veracity Capital, Mike is keenly aware of the risks, rewards, and complexities that his clients face.
Mike sees the client and advisor relationship similar to a partnership, where communication, transparency, and preparation are crucial to success. He believes that no two clients have the same financial goals, so no two clients should have the same plan. Because of this, Mike works with a lower number of clients and selectively focuses on those that can benefit from his skill set.
As a founding partner of Veracity Capital, Mike also enjoys developing other advisors in the firm and helping them grow. Mike also serves the finance function as CFO of Veracity Capital. Prior to Veracity Capital, Mike spent 11 years working at Goldman Sachs, in the AYCO division where he advised his clients.
Mike earned a Bachelor of Science in Business from California State University, Northridge, and an MBA from Chapman University. Outside the office, Mike, his wife Keegan, and two sons, Macklyn and Hendrix, can be found outdoors, playing sports, and traveling.
