Mike truly enjoys developing strong relationships with his clients through transparent and quick communication. He provides detailed projections for complex financial and tax planning and explains them to clients in an easy-to-understand way. Having a hand on the shoulder of clients as they take important—and sometimes scary—steps in life gives Mike the fulfillment and motivation fueling his hard work ethic. Learning from experienced mentors at a young age, Mike plans to continue building strong relationships that will last decades. 

Mike spent his final year of college working full-time in Moneta’s Reporting Systems department. After graduation from the University of Missouri–St. Louis in 2015, he joined a financial planning team at Moneta and began providing high-level service to clients. To deepen his knowledge of the industry, Mike obtained the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® designation in 2017. As Mike continued to flourish in knowledge and client relationships, he was promoted to Advisor in 2019. Mike joined the McGinnis Brown Taylor Team in 2025, continuing his work as an Advisor.  

Mike, his wife, daughter, son, and their two dogs currently reside in Fenton. Mike is an avid outdoorsman, spending as many weekends as possible at either the lake, friends’ farms, or exploring new places. He also enjoys playing volleyball and golf, working on home improvement projects, and get-togethers with family and friends.
