Founder
Hi, I'm Mike DePaul. I've always had a passion for life and I know that passion won't just end when I retire. In fact, I suspect it will only grow stronger. That's why I created the Virtual Retirement Academy. I want my students and clients to be able to pursue their dreams and passions well after their working days are behind them. I know a happy retirement is possible and with hard work, the right knowledge, and a little help from a retirement pro we can all enjoy a happy, successful, fulfilling retirement.
My Story
When my grandfather died I was relatively new in the financial planning business. I never advised him on things like investment planning, tax planning, or estate planning. And frankly, he never asked. A few weeks after his death my grandmother called me in tears. Because of some very bad advice and my grandfather's lack of knowledge on these topics my grandmother lived the last years of her life struggling for money. As I looked over her situation it occurred to me that, even as a new advisor, had I looked at what my grandfather had done prior to his death, I would have recognized most of the problems very quickly and could have easily fixed them.
From that day forward, it became my mission to make sure no one else's grandparents have to suffer the same fate. I committed to helping as many people as I could achieve their retirement dreams.
