Michael Jay Markey, Jr.

Who is this Mark Markey Guy Anyway!? (I'm SOMEWHAT DISAPPOINTED YOU HAD TO ASK...)

Every day I get to wake up and do what I was made to do. It's pretty cool...don't be jealous because getting to do what we're made to do isn't the same as what we want to do.

I was supposed to be a baseball player. That's what I wanted to do. God had a different plan for me (him and I will discuss this some day!)

As a speaker and author, I've learned it's not about what I know, it's about what the audience hears.

Now for third person, because a) it's from my website [I'm lazy] and b) I can't figure out how to speak in fourth person without this getting really weird...

Michael has received many industry accolades such as being a hero in the insurance industry, by LifeHealthPro; a local insurance celebrity, by InsuranceNewsNet Magazine, and was given the "Moving America Award," by William Shatner.

Mike has been a popular speaker for financial events, teaching other financial services professionals how to run their business differently, and why we, as an industry, must start teaching people differently about money and finances. He has been a main stage/platform speaker for Insurance companies, such as American Equity, and Insurance Marketing Organizations, like Gradient Insurance Brokerage. In addition, he’s been a featured financial expert guest on various radio shows from the East Coast, over to Texas, and back up to Wisconsin.

Most recently, Mike was elected to serve on the board of directors for the International Association of Registered Financial Consultants (IARFC) and is the youngest Treasurer in organizations history.

Lastly, Mike's a father, a husband, a son, and a believer. He co-hosts the weekly radio show, "Fireproof Your Finances," with his lovely wife Vanessa, making listeners laugh apparently around the world (although the show airs on local radio stations in Michigan, it's also available on itunes [and other platforms] and has been ranked in several foreign markets).

Any other questions...just ask or google them!
