Michael Kimmich is inspired to help people design the financial aspects of their lives, allowing them to pursue their lifetime goals. He educates clients through the accumulation phase as they work and build up assets, then walks them through the distribution phase once they retire.Prior to entering the financial services industry, Michael spent 16 years in the lighting industry managing multi-million-dollar projects that encompassed specification, design, and manufacturing to help people with their lighting needs. He is well accustomed to the complexities of patiently executing details with care and compassion.Michael likes to take a long view in many ways—preferring to gather information through listening and observation before responding, taking his cue from Stephen Covey by seeking to understand before asking to be understood. Similarly, Michael enjoys spending time outdoors by going camping and canoeing. He has also accumulated flying time to work towards his private pilot’s license as he enjoys gaining perspective by seeing the world from up above.After spending most of his life in Kansas, and his early years in St. Louis, Fort Myers is now Michael’s home, where he lives with his wife, Lynne. Passionate about supporting children’s charities, Michael dedicates time and effort to supporting the Tommy Bohanon Foundation and Blessings in a Backpack. You may hear Michael exercising his voice in his free time, perhaps belting out some songs on karaoke night, or doing a killer Scooby Doo imitation./COMPLIANCE:2022-513/
