Financial Planning and Parkinson's

Thank you to our industry partners, AbbVie and ACORDA, for sponsoring this event! 

ABOUT THE EVENT

Dealing with Parkinson’s is unpredictable; there is no way to know how you will feel or what you will be able to do days, months, or years from now. For your own financial security, you need to plan ahead. Join us as our expert panel provides general best practices in managing your finances as well as navigating the insruance and medication cost management.

This event is free to people with Parkinson's and their care partners. 

SPEAKERS

Mike Grappone, MBA

As a Financial Advisor, I am dedicated to offering my clients thoughtful advice and exceptional service as I help build, maintain and manage their wealth. Backed by Wells Fargo, one of the nation’s largest financial institutions, I specialize in retirement planning, financial strategies and wealth protection for business owners, families and individuals.

I have over 30 years of business experience. I was Director of Cash Management for Universal Leaf Tobacco Company then held senior executive positions at Infineon Technologies and Qimonda North America. At Infineon and Qimonda, I founded the investment committee when the company was spun off from Siemens and oversaw the pension plan, 401(k) plan, deferred compensation plan and pension enhancement compensation plan. I was also responsible for the credit and collections department as well as all cash flow and bank operations. Administering these plans helped me recognize the impact I could have helping companies and individuals by providing investment and retirement planning.

My educational background includes an MBA from the University of Richmond, a BBA with a concentration in finance from James Madison University and completing the Global Manager Development program at Babson College. Now, as a Financial Advisor, my goal is to serve as the first point of contact to my clients and provide comprehensive investment planning while delivering unparalleled service.

I am active in the community as a member of the Finance Executive Advisory Board of James Madison University,
