Michael D Haakinson

I was born in California, but my family moved to northern Nevada when I was 12 and I have spent the majority of my time in northern Nevada. I raised two kids of my own, three stepchildren and three foster care children. I love attending local events, watching football and motorsports, mountain biking and travel. I volunteer with two local non-profits, the Carson Animal Services Initiative (CASI) and C.I.R.C.L.E.S. Initiative, which helps local people escape from poverty.

I became a financial advisor for one reason - to help people. I came from a blue-collar background and I did not learn about finances until later in life. Had I had the proper information when I was younger, my life could have been completely different. If I could share any of my knowledge and change a person's life forever, that is a good day's work. Edward Jones gives me the tools to do just that, help people and put my client's interest first.
