MIKE'S BIOGRAPHY
I grew up in Grayson County and after graduating from Denison High attended North Texas State University. After graduating from North Texas with a B.A. degree in finance and real estate, I spent 20 plus years providing financial guidance to large international corporations and managers. This included investing the corporations' cash, managing all aspects of insurance, analyzing acquisitions and purchasing foreign currency to support subsidiaries cash requirements. Financial planning is a personal strength developed during this time.
While working in California as a corporate treasurer our daughter was born. We returned to Texas to raise her in an area that appreciates the conservative moral values instilled in me as a child. I was blessed to be able to spend a few years enjoying the company of my family and spending unlimited time with my daughter during her formative years. And then back to doing what I do best; providing financial planning and investing support but with a focus on families.
OUTSIDE OF THE OFFICE
Community involvement is very important to me.
My personal commitment to my family as well as less fortunate children is the focus of my community involvement. Coaching my daughters' soccer, basketball and volleyball teams, being a "watch dog dad" at her school, being involved with the PTA as well as getting involved with various children's activities at our church are a few examples.
In addition I am a certified mentor and previously participated in numerous activities with the Air Chapel. The Air Chapel is a faith based non-profit organization. The mission of the Air Chapel is to restore at risk children to productive relationships with God, family and the community. More recently I have volunteered my extra time at Four Rivers Ministry. Four Rivers is a faith based organization with the goal of helping people suffering from various addictions return to a productive lifestyle.
