About Michael Norton
I was born in Santa Barbara, CA in 1963, and I graduated High School in Sumner, Washington in 1981. Following that, I moved to Wenatchee and taught snow skiing and attended Wenatchee Valley College. During this time, I continued to teach and coach full time in the winter as well as work on fishing boats in Alaska until 1993.
I moved to Yakima in 1993, where my then future wife (Jennifer) had landed a job with the Yakima Fire Department. In 1995, I finished School and started working as a Financial Advisor with Smith Barney (later became Morgan Stanley).
I began serving on the volunteer Board of Directors of Central Washington Comprehensive Mental Health in 2001. I was active in planning the scope and future size of the agency and joined their full-time staff as a Director of Strategic Planning in 2010. I have the greatest respect for people working in the healthcare field. It’s very hard work, but is also a great calling.
In August 2018, I returned to Morgan Stanley, dedicating myself to guiding clients on their financial journeys. Most recently, in February 2024, I joined forces with esteemed Financial Advisors Michael Latimer and Daniel Cohen. Together, we are committed to providing comprehensive financial planning that empowers you to define your objectives, explore tailored solutions, and implement effective strategies to help achieve your goals. At the heart of our approach is a deep understanding of your unique aspirations, and we are excited to work with you in crafting a roadmap for your financial success.
I’ve been fortunate enough to have in-depth personal connections with a wide variety of individuals. The wealthy businessperson to the homeless addict, to a single mom trying to do the best she can for her child, to the police officers and firefighters going to work to serve and protect the community. Each person has value as an individual, and each has a unique perspective. It’s been my privilege to serve the great people in this community.
