Mike’s approach to wealth management is very process oriented and built on a solid and empathic understanding of his clients lives and aspirations.

Mike has always been an active member of his community and currently sits on the board for the Nationwide Gift Planning Advisor Council for the American Cancer Society.
I follow the deep-seated Merrill tradition of participating in the communities we serve. This drives my interest in spending time volunteering with organizations in our community.
