Mike Kendra, CFP® has spent the past 25 years in various leadership roles. As an officer in the US Army, he learned the basics of leadership in a variety of situations, including operational deployments to Kuwait and Iraq. From the army, Mike transitioned to manufacturing as a supervisor, operations manager, and plant manager. It was during this time Mike’s wife, Heather, became an Ameriprise Financial Advisor. In addition to growing her own clients organically, she started a plan production business, which Mike joined in 2015 and is now known as FP Solutions RI. This group based in Rhode Island employs ~30 people supporting financial advisory practices across the country.
In addition to his day job, Mike continues to support Heather’s practice, consulting on various process improvements and keeping the books. He is also the author of two self-published books: Master Your Money and The Four Levers. He recently retired from property management (good riddance!)
Mike lives in Rhode Island with Heather and they have a son, Chris. Mike stays active with running, lifting, surfing, skiing, and jiu jitsu. Mike will travel pretty much anywhere at the drop of a hat, enjoys reading, and wishes he could get by on 4 hours of sleep, but alas, needs 8 just like everyone else.
