Michael Schmoyer | Managing Partner & COO

Service is the common denominator in COO Mike Schmoyer's career. Mike served his country as an Airborne Ranger stationed throughout the U.S. and in various South American “hot spots.” He then began a long and successful career with consumer-products giant Johnson & Johnson, eventually taking on senior sales, marketing and operational roles. In his two decades at J&J, Mike was part of managing some of the world's most-recognized and widely applauded brands. He has also been active in civic and philanthropic work, especially as it benefits U.S. military veterans.

Reaching midlife himself, Mike was disturbed by the unsettled financial terrain he saw around him—and the personal tragedies that resulted. He decided that he would like to put his extensive management and organizational experience to work at helping retirees protect the assets that they worked a lifetime to accumulate. He met Rob one afternoon at a charity bike ride designed to benefit veterans, and the rest is history.

Today Mike's team certifies the right product or mix of products to meet a client's goals; ensures that fund transfers occur promptly and securely; and double-checks that all necessary procedural tasks are accomplished. This can be challenging work in today's financial climate, but given Mike's background, he is obviously no stranger to challenges.

Away from the office, Mike has also made a lifetime commitment as an active member of the American Legion, a Mason, and is active with the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation, Mikayla's Voice and Relay for Life. He also serves as a volunteer board member of Vets for Vets, a local nonprofit that provides transitional housing and counseling for homeless veterans.

In both his military and corporate careers, Mike focused on one thing above all else: achieving the mission. Now he stands ready and able to help you achieve yours.
