Mike Wright

I joined Edward Jones in 1994 after graduating from Northwestern University studying organizational studies, economics and finance. In 1995, I assumed the role of transitional financial advisor, managing branch offices around the country. In 1999, I assumed responsibility for my current office in Morris, IL. Since joining the firm, I've been an active volunteer, serving as a mentor, performance leader, new financial advisor support specialist and visiting veteran. I spent 10 years as a regional leader with responsibilities for roughly 70 branch teams across South and Southwest Chicagoland.

On five different occasions, I've invited newer financial advisors to temporarily join my practice in order to help better serve clients in our community. I have qualified for multiple Managing Partner’s Conferences and several Financial Advisor Leaders Conferences, annual events that recognize outstanding financial advisors and provide us with additional training. I've been a limited partner of our firm since 1998 and was named a principal in 2012. I currently serve on the board of the Morris Hospital Auxiliary & Foundation, the We Care organization, the GEDC (Grundy Economic Development Council) and the Joliet Area YMCA. I'm a former member of the Grundy County Housing Authority and Saratoga School Board.

In my free time, I enjoy travelling and spending time with my wife, Missie, and our two high school children, Libby and Charlie. Together with my partner in our practice, Sarah Mettille, it is a pleasure and privilege to help serve the investment needs of our community.
