Planning Specialties
Erik founded Chessie Advisors, LLC in 2014 after more than a decade in the financial planning industry. Throughout his career, he has provided financial counseling to clients from all walks of life, from assembly-line workers to teachers to mid-level engineers to high-level corporate executives and everything in between. With Chessie Advisors, Erik wanted to turn his primary focus to those seemingly underserved by traditional advisors and offer comprehensive financial planning and investment advice without minimum asset levels to teachers, engineers, and young professionals. Erik is also President of Chessie Tax, LLC, an income tax preparation firm serving individuals and small business owners.
Erik spent a year test-driving a mechanical engineering degree at Kettering University before going on to earn his bachelor of science in Finance from Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. He knew he wanted to focus his career on personal financial advising. After graduation, Erik worked with a number of top registered investment advisor firms in Michigan before founding Chessie Advisors and Chessie Tax in 2014.
Erik is a Certified Financial Planner™ professional as well as an Enrolled Agent with the IRS. He is a member of the XY Planning Network and a member of The National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA).
