About

1 Fiduciary Care

Big differences exist between a broker and an Investment Adviser Representative (IAR).  While both can provide investment advice and strategies, only an Investment Adviser Representative acts as a fiduciary, providing a higher standard of care.  As such, Mike is bound by his as a fiduciary to make recommendations with your best interest in mind.

2 Independence

At Hood Financial, we minimize conflicts of interest and offer no proprietary products. We have the freedom and objectivity to choose from among a wide range of solutions that are most appropriate to your situation.

3 Experience and Knowledge

Mike has over 30 years’ experience in the financial services industry and has extensive expertise helping clients achieve a worry-free retirement. He also brings many years’ experience as a business owner and entrepreneur.  He knows firsthand the meaning of adversity, faith, discipline and success, and readily shares his experience and lessons learned with clients.

4 Long-Term Relationships

At Hood Financial, we are dedicated to gaining the trust and respect of both you and your other professional advisers.  We strive to create long-term relationships which encourage open and honest communication.  An overwhelming majority of our clients and their families have been with us for over 25 years.  We also make it a top priority to develop relationships with your entire family to help assure consistency and continuity for generations to come.

5 Education

Mike enjoys sharing his vast knowledge. His guiding principle is to inform and educate each client.  He personally educates you as much as you like in order to feel comfortable, confident and in control of your financial world.  This leads to better decision making and confidence in knowing you’re on the right path. The financial, investment, and tax landscape can change quickly, while new tax laws and emerging market and economic trends help provide investment opportunities.  Mike believes that education is key to being a good steward of your wealth.

6 Photographic Memory

One of the company’s motto’s is; “You will not be forgotten at Hood Financial!”  Mike has been blessed with a photographic memory and has immediate recall of almost every client’s personal situation and the financial solutions he’s presented over the last 30+ years.  These qualities makes him well suited for the financial services business and a great asset to clients.  Mike does not have to rely on modern technology alone to keep track of your situation or your assets, allowing him to focus on the ‘big picture’ when making recommendations. He sees how all the individual pieces of your finances can work together in the most efficient and effective way while simplifying even the most complex concepts.

7 Organized, Highly Detailed, and Disciplined

Mike gets up at 5:30am every day and believes in the value of taking care of himself first before others. Whether that’s speed walking around the neighborhood, playing a round of golf, or solving the latest internet word game puzzle, Mike is commited to his health and keeping his mind sharp for his family and clients. Mike has an eye for detail and is highly organized and disciplined, enabling him to provide greater client attention, satisfaction and service.  Even his desk is always spotlessly clean and organized. For example, having a paperless office for the past 20 years, his judicial use of the latest technology, systems and processes help provide clarity, efficiency and accuracy in handling your funds. He can access your information and answer questions anytime, anywhere.

8 Always Responsive

Mike has a same day phone call return policy and can always be reached via email, phone, or text.  When you hire Hood Financial, we never want you to have to worry about your money again.  If you have questions, read an article, or see something in the news, we encourage you to pick up the phone and call…That’s why we’re here!
