MICHAEL FRENCH
Michael French is an LPL Investment Advisor Representative, and the owner and Founder of French Wealth Management LLC.
Michael was raised on a small farm outside of Malta, a small town in Northeastern Montana. After a collegiate wrestling career at the University of Great Falls, Michael was introduced into the industry when he was accepted into an internship offered by a regional brokerage firm following his college graduation in 2011. It was there that Michael developed an appreciation for the industry and for the people who work in it. He saw how financial planning and investment knowledge could change people’s lives and he wanted to be able to share that knowledge with others. Soon after, Michael began his career as an advisor. In 2014, Michael and his wife made the decision to move to Kalispell to put down their roots. Later, in 2018, Michael transitioned his practice to LPL Financial, the largest Independent Broker-Dealer in the country. *As reported by Financial Planning magazine, June 1996-2019, based on total revenue. With the independence that LPL provides, Michael was able to establish French Wealth Management LLC.
As an independent wealth adviser Michael is able to focus on personalized strategies for his clients. Committed to furthering his education, in March of 2019 Michael earned his Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) designation.
Michael and his wife Marissa have three children Axel, Harlee, and Remi. While the kids keep him plenty busy Michael does get outdoors as much as he can during his time out of the office. Hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, and boating are a few of his favorite outdoor activities. He stays physically active during the week by regularly attending classes at a local CrossFit gym.
