My entire professional life has been devoted to safeguarding the well-being of individuals and families.As one of only 1% of law enforcement officers nationwide to graduate from the rigorous F.B.I. National Training Academy in Quantico, Va., I took an oath to “serve and protect,” spending the first 20 years of my career protecting the physical well-being of the community through my roles as 911 dispatcher, correctional officer, street cop and, eventually, as Captain.After a rewarding career in law enforcement, I followed my dream of helping individuals and families achieve financial well-being when I became a Certified Financial Planner™ professional and, in 1996, founded what is today Integra Shield Financial Group LLC. I have always had a thing for people and for numbers—in that order. My work as a Certified Financial Planner ™ professional is the culmination of the desire to help people design the lifestyle they want to live. The name of my firm, Integra Shield, reflects the core values of integrity and care for others that have shaped my life and guide my service to clients.Specialties: Mike believes people come before numbers.
