Timothy Michel has always lived to serve others. In addition to providing investment advice, income planning strategies, and family estate planning strategies to the clients of Great Lakes Asset Management in his role as Managing Director – Investments, Tim strives to truly connect with each client on the path to achieving their most important goals. His attentive, empathetic approach is borne out of a genuine desire to help those he serves.

Throughout his 30+ year career at Wells Fargo Advisors, Tim developed a reputation for being efficient and decisive when serving the needs of his clients while always maintaining good humor and a kind touch. Unsatisfied by the cookie-cutter nature of the industry, he built Michel Wealth Management as part of Great Lakes Asset Management to truly personalize each client’s plan. A hard worker since the start, he graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Illinois with a B.S. in Finance.

Having grown up in Palatine, IL before moving to Sycamore to start a family and build his financial services company, Tim made it a point to serve his community as the President of Kishwaukee College Foundation Board and as well as in the Kishwaukee Rotary Club. To lift up his wife and all those diagnosed with MS, he and his family can regularly be found supporting the MS Society and attending their events. Outside of the office, Tim loves spending time with family, is active in his local Parish, and stays active boating, golfing, and bicycling. When you see him, ask him when he’s next headed to Colorado for a ski trip!
