For more than a decade, Michael Norris built his career at a respected financial planning firm, beginning as an intern and growing into the role of financial advisor and later a firm partner. Having been there from the early days, he gained a unique perspective on the inner workings of the profession and developed a deep understanding of what it takes to serve clients well. Throughout those years, he continually expanded his knowledge through industry education, national conferences, and professional development opportunities, while also discovering a passion for leadership and mentorship.

As he worked with individuals and families through life's many transitions, Michael came to view financial planning as more than investment returns or funding retirement vacations— as fun as these can be. He believes that financial decisions are opportunities for thoughtful and responsible stewardship—helping clients align their resources with their goals, values, and priorities. Whether guiding young families, business owners, retirees, or those navigating unexpected changes, his greatest fulfillment has always come from helping people move forward with confidence and clarity.

That passion for stewardship ultimately inspired the creation of Olivet Financial. By establishing his own firm, Michael sought to build a practice centered on stewardship, personal connection, and attentive service. The name "Olivet" was chosen intentionally, drawing inspiration from the Olivet Discourse and its timeless themes of wisdom, preparedness, faithfulness, and stewardship. While financial planning cannot predict the future, it can help individuals and families thoughtfully prepare for it, making wise decisions with the resources entrusted to them. Those principles are woven into the foundation of Olivet Financial and shape the way we serve our clients each day.

At Olivet Financial, our goal is to walk alongside clients through every stage of life, adapting strategies as circumstances evolve and celebrating milestones along the way. We believe meaningful financial guidance is built on trust, consistency, and a genuine commitment to helping people pursue their goals with confidence. Through lasting relationships and a stewardship-minded approach, we strive to provide a steady source of guidance for the journey ahead.
