About Mike Torrey, CFP, AIF, CEPA, QPFC

I was born in La Jolla, CA, and grew up in a military family, as my father was a career officer in the U.S. Marine Corps. We moved many times in my childhood, as I was fortunate enough to live on both coasts as well as the Central Midwest and New England. I graduated from the University of Kansas in 1989, receiving a B.A. in Personnel Administration and a commission as a 2nd Lt in the U.S. Marine Corps. Leaving active duty atter 5 years, I transferred to the reserves, relocating to the Washington D.C. area, and entering into the insurance business, specializing in the small business market. Building upon my experience and commitment to providing comprehensive planning, I became a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional in 2012. Continuing my reserve service concurrently, I deployed to Afghanistan in 2011 and retired from the Joint Staff in 2019. My wife, Denise, and I were married in 1998, and are the proud parents of one son, who is a rising senior in college, majoring in Business Administration.
