Michael Krise is a Financial Advisor with Raymond James & Associates, located in Orlando, Florida. Prior to joining Raymond James in 2008, he was President of West Orange Investments and an Investment Specialist with TD Ameritrade. In the financial services industry since 1999, Mike began his career providing fixed income and mutual fund advice to clients nationwide. He now enjoys being more planning focused, getting to know his client on both a personal and financial level. This allows for a much more intimate relationship with his clients. Mike feels this is the best way to forge a long-lasting, trusting relationship.
In order to offer the best service and knowledge to his clients, he completed classes through the University of Central Florida to earn his Financial Planning Certificate and completed the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification in March 2009. As a CFP®, Mike is committed to acting in his clients’ best interests and in looking at the total picture of their financial needs including health care and estate and legacy planning. Mike is also his team’s go-to guy for managing 401(k) plans for employers and their participants.
He is a native West Virginian, and proud to say so, but has also resided in Tennessee before ending up in Kansas where he attended high school and college. Michael played collegiate baseball at Neosho County Community College and Emporia State University where he graduated with a degree in Finance.
If you are having a hard time finding Mike, checking the baseball field is a good place to start. In the past, he has volunteered his time as coach for the JV Lake Brantley High School Baseball team and served as president of the North Orlando Kiwanis Little League. Currently, Mike can be found cheering on his son at his baseball games and his daughter on the golf course. Other activities he enjoys are trips to the beach, attending WVU football games and spending as much time as possible with his wife, Danielle, and their two children, Hank and Hannah.
