Michael Urch began his financial services career nine years ago at a Fortune 100 Financial Services company, where he helped individuals and business owners make smarter financial decisions. Wanting to be an unbiased advisor for his clients, he was frustrated by this job because it focused on products and sales rather than comprehensive advice. Thinking planning should come before products, Michael was attracted to Brown Wealth Management because of our client-focused and planning-centric culture. He graduated magna cum laude from Bethel University with a BA in economics and finance as well as a minor in mathematics. He became a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ in 2020.

Michael lives in Golden Valley, Minnesota, where he likes to read, hike, and play guitar. When he is not working, Michael spends his time with his wife, Bri, reading books to their three children, or serving at Westview Church.
