As Financial Advisor, Michael will now be responsible for asset allocation and risk management decisions on portfolios, retirement projections for clients, placing trades and directing estate planning and tax planning issues. “I was able to learn from some of the best in the industry, and had a great opportunity to work closely with some outstanding clients.
