Yuba City, CA #4754 Chapter Directors

Michael Critchfield

Chapter President

My team and I are passionate about helping our clients develop and accomplish their compelling vision of the future.  From discovery, planning, and implementation of your financial plan to investment management and regular monitoring, my team and I strive to deliver incredible, earth-shattering, client service by treating clients with utmost respect, friendliness and professionalism.  

 

I graduated Magna-Cum-Laude with a degree in Business Administration from the University of California.  My focus was in finance with the long-term goal of starting my own independent advisory firm. Today, I am a Wealth Advisor and a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER TM.

During my professional career, I have served as the Vice President for Blackburne & Brown Mortgage Company, where for a period of six years I helped individual clients invest money in commercial first trust deeds. After leaving Blackburne & Brown, I joined Edward Jones Investments as a Financial Advisor. During my five plus years with Edward Jones, I assisted my clients with a broad range of investments and insurance products.

 

In November of 2010, I realized my life's goal by becoming an Independent Wealth Advisor and joining forces with Woodbury Financial Services.  That same year we started working closely with Wright & Wright Bookkeeping and Tax Services providing financial services to many of their clients.  Today my business partner, Matthew DiGiacomo, and I are co-founders of Core Financial Group an independent financial services firm located in Yuba City, CA.

 

My wife Robin and I were married in 2000 and we were blessed with our beautiful daughter Samantha in 2003.   During the early years of building my practice, I sacrificed a lot of family time. Today, I enjoy working with normal hours and spending as much time as possible with my family.  I have come to learn that the wise words of Eleanor Roosevelt ring true: “The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.”
