He was born on May 31, 1986, in Long Island, New York, to Linda and Felix. During high school, he participated in football, wrestling, and hockey, which helped him build discipline, resilience, and teamwork skills. At the age of 17, he began working in the mortgage industry, gaining early exposure to lending and client relations. By the age of 18, he had moved into his apartment, marking the beginning of his life as an independent adult. These early experiences shaped his interest in finance and taught him the importance of sound financial decision-making.
Over time, Michael expanded his career by earning the Series 7 license, which allowed him to become a licensed securities broker. This enabled him to assume more complex investment responsibilities and serve a broader range of clients. He became a top producer at two New York broker-dealers, recognized for his consistent performance and client-first mindset. In November 2022, he founded HLV Ventures in Hauppauge, New York. The firm connects accredited investors with pre-IPO and secondary market investment opportunities through a structured process that ensures regulatory compliance and informed decision-making.
He is committed to building lasting relationships based on integrity and education. He supports charitable causes, including his local church and St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. Outside of work, he values time with his wife and two sons, and enjoys activities such as golf, working out, and playing pickleball.
