Michael J. Meily

Mike joined Verdence as a Managing Director following the firm’s acquisition of Harvest Investment Consultants, where he served as Managing Member. At Verdence, he brings the same focus to strengthening the client experience, built over nearly three decades in the industry. What draws him to the work is simple: helping people build better financial lives.

Prior to Harvest, Mike was at New York Life Insurance Company and Eagle Strategies, LLC, working as a registered representative and later a sales development manager. In 2008 he moved to Harvest Investment Consultants in Hunt Valley, Maryland, where he built the firm over the next 18 years. Along the way, he bought a company, grew a company, and sold a company, a path that shaped how he thinks about long-term planning for clients.

Outside the office, Mike is often on a golf course or out on the water. He roots for the Orioles, but he’s just as likely to be watching the PGA Tour or the U.S. Ryder Cup Team.

My favorite quote is:

“Aut inveniam viam aut faciam, Latin for ‘I will find a way or make one.’”

Best piece of advice from my parents:

“Learning self-sufficiency, being accountable for my actions.”

If I were not a financial advisor, I would be:

“A charter boat captain in St. John USVI, or a caddy at a premier golf course.”
