Our Team
Mike Michalak
President
As a Financial Advisor, I sincerely believe that most people want to do what’s right: right for themselves, right for their families, and right for their communities. In fact, that’s one of the reasons I joined New York Life in 2001, and continue my affiliation with New York Life and Eagle Strategies LLC. I wanted the opportunity to work in an environment that made it easy for people to do right, and more importantly, for me to do right for my clients.
Based on your specific needs, I can introduce you to some proven, dependable ways to help protect your family’s lifestyle and future; or prepare for major financial events such as paying for college, saving for retirement, or caring for an aging relative. Having served as president of the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors and on the Agent’s Advisory Council for New York Life, I am focused on doing what is best for my individual clients, as well as their families and businesses.
Growing up in West Michigan, attending Grand Valley State University, and raising my own family here now, you can take comfort in the fact that I have a vested interest in the success and prosperity of my community and neighbors. As a husband and father of three, I myself have many of the same hopes and aspirations as my clients, and am happy to share with you all the resources and information that my experience has to offer.
When I’m not working for my clients, my wife Tasha and I enjoy spending time with our children, Brooklyn, Molly, and Brady on the ball field, on the water, or in the woods. I stay active by coaching their teams as well as hunting, fishing, hiking, golfing, and competing in triathlons. Read More
