Meet Mike Irwin

Mike’s calling and passion is to lead his Prosperity Team in helping pre-retirees and retirees build a custom, comprehensive retirement plan that delivers clarity, confidence, and peace of mind. At the core of his work is a belief that everyone deserves the confidence to keep dreaming and the freedom to not only live their life, but love their life in retirement.

This mission is deeply personal. After losing his father unexpectedly, Mike witnessed his mother, who was still in her 50s, being left without a plan or guidance. That experience became his life’s purpose and ultimately led him to found his firm over 20 years ago.

Mike began his career with General Mills before advancing to leadership roles in marketing and private equity. In 2007, he and his wife and high school sweetheart, Sarah, founded their firm to serve families across Virginia and the East Coast.

Outside of the office, Mike and Sarah are deeply connected to Virginia Tech, where they both graduated, and enjoy giving back to their alma mater. Most importantly, they cherish time with their two children and two grandchildren—living out the very values of family, purpose, and abundance that inspire Mike’s work every day.
