Check out what other Publix Associates are saying about us.....
“As a couple we were blessed to have worked for Publix Super Markets for over 75 years. This is not a typo - over 75 years between the two of us. With that said we did not take lightly who we chose to be our financial advisor once we retired. Mike has done right by us for the past eight years (since we retired) thru the ups and downs and the uncertainty of the markets.
None of us know what the future holds but it good to know we have him in our corner.”

YES, I would like to schedule a complementary call with Mike
Schedule a CallMy own career with Publix started in 1979, and after retiring in 1999, I began my career in financial planning.
When I retired, the ESOP and Profit Sharing were still separate programs. And after beginning the distribution process with no experience or professional guidance at the time, I soon realized how confusing it can be.
Because of this experience, shortly after taking my own distribution I began helping other Publix Associates plan for their Life After Publix. 23+ years later, I'm still passionate about helping people like you avoid the mistakes I made, and still see people making today.
Because of my experience and time at Publix, I know the challenges you face, and how to help you successfully navigate them.

Schedule a CallCharacteristics that define a financial advisor.
As a Publix Associate, I know choosing a financial advisor can be very confusing and there's no shortage of firms throughout the South actively seeking your business. I believe at least part of that confusion is because many in my industry have adopted the title "financial advisor". A Financial Advisor is registered to offer advisory services through a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) which is registered with the SEC.
According to Investopedia.com
"a true financial advisor should be a well-educated, credentialed, experienced, financial professional who works on behalf of his clients, as opposed to serving the interests of a financial institution". "Generally, a financial advisor is an independent practitioner who operates in a fiduciary capacity in which a client’s interests come before their own".
