During his many years helping people with various mortgage, financial, business, and insurance services, Mike has witnessed changing and often turbulent economic times – from the high-interest rates of the early 1980s to the 2008 financial crisis, right up to helping people financially navigate through the COVID crisis. Mike has real world experience as a business owner, starting Equity One Mortgage, Inc in 1987 and growing it to a 20+ employee company with offices in MA and RI, later selling it to a NJ based lender in 1995.

Taking into account his diversity of personal and professional experiences, his approach to financial services is simple – “Financial success and security is built on a foundation of planning that starts with understanding and protecting what you have today, so you can build for what you want tomorrow.”

He dedicates much time to understanding his clients’ financial goals and concerns, and has developed an organized and sequential planning process called “6 Steps Retirement” that is designed to both manage and preserve their assets, as well as leverage these assets to help them achieve a retirement

cash flow that is predictable, sufficient, and sustainable.

“We work throughout our lives to attain a certain lifestyle. Some of what we earn along the way goes to establish that lifestyle. The rest we save to maintain that lifestyle throughout our retirement years. As a retirement and business income specialist, I work to help my clients protect and maintain the lifestyle they have spent a lifetime building.”
