Mike Kilpatrick has been providing sound financial advice to individuals and businesses for over 35 years.
The youngest of 12 kids, and raised on a small farm in Boulder, CO., Mike's upbringing played a major role in shaping his career in finance.
Mike is dependable, hard working, great with numbers, loves conversing with friends and clients, and always has a smile.
His work ethic came from the example both his parents set for him — his father worked full time for the government plus managed a farm, and his mother reared twelve children in addition to being a school teacher for a number of years. Mike will say he got his brain for numbers from his dad, who "developed and patented a radar system, the High Frequencey Directional Finder, which was instrumental in tracking down German U-boats and locating downed U.S. pilots..." (Denver Post, June 17, 2004). Then Mike's smile and joy for conversation most certainly came from his mother, who somehow managed to always stay engaged and positive in the midst of successfully raising her small army of children.
In college, Mike attended Metropolitan State College in Denver, where he studied computer science and business administration.
Through life's circumstances, Mike eventually ended up in California working in the Grocery business. And it was during this time that he was "discovered." As business men and women would walk through his line, on more than one occasion they would comment on how much they enjoyed chatting with him, suggesting his natural skillset as a people-person would serve him well in the business world. Mike took this to heart and decided to reply to an employment opportunity he found in the local newspaper. The position was for an entry level financial planner with a company called IDS. Mike nailed the interview, passed his licensing exams, and the rest is history. He successfully built his business from the ground up to what it is today.
Now Mike owns and operates Kilpatrick Financial Group. He holds the Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC®) designation, which he obtained from the American College. He is licensed to consult on a variety of investment and insurance related products, and specializes in helping clients develop comprehensive financial plans.
Mike has four grown children, and eleven grandchildren. He currently resides in Camarillo, CA., and attends his home church of Calvary Chapel in Oxnard. He is an avid tennis and pickle ball player, and a member of the Las Posas Country Club in Camarillo. Mike also enjoys hiking, camping, and hosting pancake breakfasts for family, friends, and clients.
