A lifetime of curiosity and learning.
Mike Laske always had a keen interest in financial analysis and strategy, and in his case, it spans all the way back to elementary school. It was shortly after morning chores that he would ask to borrow his parents’ newspaper, look through the stock pages, carefully analyze trends, then pick a few to play with. His hobby portfolio did well enough to catch the attention of his teachers and parents, and a spark was soon a flame for a successful career in financial planning.
Mike’s journey began in the bustling trading pits of Chicago before he decided to join one of the world’s leading investment research firms. There, he led a team of analysts conducting in-depth research on mutual funds to guide institutional investor strategy – a long way from analyzing the stock section of the family newspaper.
Today, Mike is a wealth management advisor in Greenleaf Trust’s office in Birmingham, Michigan, a short drive from his alma mater, the University of Michigan. For Mike, it is no longer about picking stocks; rather, his path from trader to analyst to advisor has come full circle, equipping him with the skill and knowledge to craft holistic plans that serve his clients’ financial needs now and for generations to come. As you consider your own path to financial freedom, call Mike to tap a lifetime of learning to your family’s benefit.
