Meet Mike

Hi, I'm Mike.

I'm a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Personal Financial Specialist (PFS), Retirement Income Certified Professional (RICP), and fiduciary wealth advisor.

Throughout my career, I've learned that taxes are rarely just about taxes. They influence many of the decisions that shape how we save, invest, and preserve wealth over time.

That realization is what led me to create The Tax Clarity Letter.

I wanted to build a publication that explores the often-overlooked role taxation plays in many of life's most important financial decisions. Rather than focusing on technical rules or annual deadlines, these articles explore the intersection of taxes, investing, retirement, and long-term financial planning through the lens of thoughtful decision-making.

My hope is that this content helps you think more clearly about the choices that shape your financial future and perhaps even inspires meaningful conversations with your own tax and financial advisors.

Thank you for reading.

A little about me: I enjoy cooking, woodworking, and spending time outdoors—activities that remind me that the best things in life are often built slowly and with care.
