Michael W. Kruchten, AIF®, CFP®
Partner, Wealth Advisor
Mike has spent 25-plus years in the financial services industry cultivating long-term relationships with clients and business owners. Mike’s approach to investing and financial planning incorporates both behavioral finance and demographic trends into his clients' decision-making and construction of their comprehensive financial plans.
Mike realizes client emotions can prevail in financial decision-making and constantly reminds his clients of his mission statement of “Inspire clients to choose to do what they will wish they had done, especially when they are not inclined to do it.”
Mike’s passion for one-on-one customized advice is paramount to working with each client to ensure their goals are not only attainable but measurable. Mike’s straightforward and transparent process is crucial in his client's pursuit of their aspirations, dreams, and goals, both financial and non-financial.
Mike is a lifelong resident of Will County, having worked in the Joliet area his entire life. Mike lives locally with his best friend and wife, Tricia, and their three children, Justin, Karly Ann, and Matthew. When away from the office you will find us traveling between sporting events, volunteering at various community organizations and what little down time is left is spent laughing and reflecting as a family.

Robert G. Stenzel
Partner, Wealth Advisor
It started with a Warren Buffett book. Rob, 12 at the time, ripped through it in a weekend, entranced by Buffett’s investment philosophy and work ethic.
College brought internships at William Blair and Smith Barney, affirming experiences that helped Rob find his calling. Of all the paths in finance, helping people and their families reach their financial goals, hopes, and dreams was the path for him.
It's that passion that drives Rob’s approach to planning. He works with each of his clients to tailor customized plans and specific strategies built with their pursuits at the center. Classic investment principles and forward-thinking insight into future market drivers are at the core of Rob's approach, and he prizes client communication in both daily and long-term decision-making.
In his free time, there’s nothing more he loves than spending time with his wife, Sarah, and two daughters, Lucy and Maisy. You can often find him on the sidelines coaching his daughters’ sports teams, or in the stands rooting on the Chicago Cubs and Georgia Bulldogs.
