About Me

Michael began his financial services career in 2016 with J.P. Morgan Wealth Management and moved to Stifel in 2026. He earned a B.A. in Broadcast Journalism from Penn State University in 2012 and holds Series 7, 63, and 65 securities licenses.

During his decade with J.P. Morgan, Michael gained valuable experience helping clients develop and implement investment plans that aligned with their long-term goals. Working within a large financial institution like J.P. Morgan helped shape Michael’s belief that independent guidance, personalized service, and strong relationships are central to delivering meaningful outcomes for clients.

Michael believes that a key component to successful wealth management begins with understanding a client’s unique circumstances, priorities, and aspirations. He works to build long-term relationships by helping clients make informed financial decisions through every stage of life. Michael works to provide clear guidance and disciplined strategies that help clients navigate opportunities and uncertainty in markets.

Outside the office, Michael enjoys spending time with his wife, Kendell, and his two sons, Jansen and Marlow. He coaches youth baseball, basketball, and flag football and enjoys supporting local schools’ athletic programs.
