My Mission Statement
Providing high quality service and sound advice to help you preserve and grow wealth while utilizing income replacement strategies in work years, retirement and beyond.
My Story and Services
Michael joined Morgan Stanley in 2023 after previously working at Merrill Lynch, where he started his career. Michael began his career in finance at age 23, and has never worked in another industry over the course of over 40 years. He received a BS in Finance from Auburn University, and has earned the Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor® , CRPC® designation.
Michael focuses extensively on income replacement strategies with many of his clients. He emphasizes the importance of developing strategies that do not necessarily depend on the direction of the market, but strategies that are focused on each client’s unique goals. He spends time engaging in a thoughtful discovery with each client, learning about not only their financial picture, but also their goals and visions for their future.
Michael emphasizes that the most enjoyable part of his career is the fantastic relationships he has been able to build with the many families he works with, and he feels like a true member of each one. Outside of the office, Michael enjoys spending time with his family - and is a Board Member of the Sacred Heart Children's Hospital Foundation.

Working with You to Create a Comprehensive Plan
No matter what stage your life is in, whether you are preparing for retirement, enjoying retirement, or somewhere in between – a comprehensive plan can help you achieve your financial goals.
Beginning with an established plan is the best step forward in the path to reach your long-term goals. Our retirement planning process is a goal-oriented system designed to create a holistic and comprehensive step forward in the path to the financial future you envision.
Your financial goals often change along with different circumstances in your life. Our planning process is dynamic, allowing for flexibility to adapt to changes in your life as they happen.
Utilizing the extensive planning tools that Morgan Stanley has to offer, we can develop a more focused financial future that incorporates all aspects of
your life – not only your investments.
Creating a Plan to Reach Your Goals
Considering your goals is an important step in the process of creating a comprehensive plan. Each client has a unique set of goals that require a unique set of solutions.
Many people often have an idea of where they'd like to be, but don't necessarily have specific goals that they would like to work towards.
As your financial advisor – I'll work with you to develop these goals so we can create a path to accomplish them together.
Finding a Solution Unique to Your Needs
At Morgan Stanley, we have a vast array of solutions available to our clients – but we ensure our approach is tailored to each client's specific needs. We partner with you to deliver personalized solutions that are in line with your financial goals.
Total Tax 365
Taxes can be a substantial drag on investment returns. Morgan Stanley Total Tax 365 offers access to a broad range of tax-efficient strategies to help you integrate tax planning into your investment process all year long, maximize portfolio after-tax return potential and help keep more of what you earn.
Insured Solutions
As a leader in the distribution of insurance and annuities, our offerings include disability, long-term care and property and casualty insurance, as well as fixed, indexed and variable annuities. Morgan Stanley offers these products in conjunction with its licensed insurance agency affiliates.
Investment Advisory
Manage your investments within a holistic advisory relationship and take advantage of integrated tax, risk management and estate planning benefits across your entire wealth strategy—backed by leading insights and one of the financial industry's most comprehensive, multi-award-winning advisory platforms.
