The Pros and Cons
Mike's career with Publix started in 1979, and after retiring in 1999, he began his career in financial planning.
Like many Publix Associates, he entered the distribution phase without any experience or professional guidance—and quickly discovered just how complex and confusing it can be.
That experience shaped his mission. Shortly after taking his own distributions, Mike began helping other Publix associates plan for their life after Publix.
Nearly 30 years later, he remains passionate about helping others avoid the same mistakes he once made—and still sees being made today.

“As a couple we were blessed to have worked for Publix Super Markets for over 75 years. This is not a typo - over 75 years between the two of us. With that said we did not take lightly who we chose to be our financial advisor once we retired. Mike has done right by us for the past eight years (since we retired) thru the ups and downs and the uncertainty of the markets.
None of us know what the future holds but it good to know we have him in our corner.”
