I am a financial advisor in Florida, and look to Michael both as a mentor and for personal financial advice. Many times professionals in our industry put on blinders and have a bias surrounding their own personal financial plans. Mike has been there to be a sounding board for honest and open unfiltered advice. I would highly recommend him for your financial and estate planning needs!
