With a Bachelors degree in Accounting (Utah State University), Michael began in industry accounting, primarily in healthcare. While working full-time, he finished an MBA and then an MS in Accounting (Western Governors University). Seeking opportunities for growth, Michael continued to move up as Senior Accountant and then Financial Controller before joining Mission Wealth as the Tax Strategy Manager. He has experience with large corporations, startups, and government entities. He attributes much of his enthusiasm and drive to lessons learned during his eight years of service in the Utah Army National Guard, as well as a two-year, full-time, service mission in Tabasco and Chiapas, Mexico. Michael is currently studying for the CPA exams.

Michael enjoys spending his time outside of Mission Wealth with his family in South Jordan, Utah. His wife, Nora, hails from Argentina, enriching their household with both Spanish and English languages. Together, they lovingly nurture four children, and recently commemorated their joyous 17-year anniversary. An ardent explorer, Michael finds great delight in embarking on exciting adventures to Central and South America alongside his family.
