A graduate with honors of the University of Missouri, Mike holds a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Accounting as well as a Tax Certificate. His endeavors post-graduation - which involved work in both state and federal tax groups for a Big-4 accounting firm, and finance for a major financial advising company - have allowed him to accrue a deep knowledge of many personal finance areas.

Mike put that knowledge to use once he became licensed as a CPA. He started working with individuals, helping them in a myriad of areas of tax and personal finance. He developed a niche of equity compensation and small business owners since starting his own firm. This ensures that he will always stay on top of our ever-changing laws so that he may always provide the best services to his clients. This is what Mike finds most important, and what he is most dedicated to: helping people succeed in their financial lives and setting them on track to achieve the future they envision for themselves.

Mike enjoys reading, exercise, and travelling. Mike and Tria met at Mizzou and have two kids, Harrison and Jo. They love spending time together and wearing matching band tees.
