Edward Jones Financial Advisor - Chad McMichael

Edward Jones Financial Advisor - Chad McMichael Member SIPC. I became the first to establish a successful Edward Jones practice in the community. As a family, we enjoy traveling, golf and tennis.

My career with Edward Jones began shortly after graduating from Campbell University's renowned dual-degree program, where I earned an MBA, a bachelor's degree in trust and wealth management, and a minor in financial planning. With over a decade of experience, this unique educational foundation has provided me with a distinct perspective on understanding and managing clients' financial needs, which

I further enhanced by earning my CFP® certification to offer a more comprehensive approach. In recognition of my work, I was recently named to the Forbes Next Gen Best-in-State Wealth Advisors* list for Virginia:

- Ranked #12 in 2025
- Ranked #17 in 2024
- Ranked #21 in 2023

Having grown up in Northern Virginia, I recognized that affluent families and business owners in South Riding, VA, were underserved, without a local financial advisor. During my time at Campbell, I met my wife and best friend, Lourdes, who also leads a thriving Edward Jones practice in Potomac Falls, VA. Both of us competed at the Division 1 level - Lourdes played tennis, and I played football. We are now proud parents of two wonderful children, Luka, born in 2023, and Skylar, born in 2024. Our success is supported by an experienced and dedicated team. Tammy Pierce, with over 25 years in the financial industry, is an essential part of our practice, ensuring our clients receive the highest level of service. She resides in Centreville, VA, with her husband and son and enjoys family time, walks and attending hockey games. To further support our growing practice, we welcomed Preetha Gopi Kumar, who brings a wealth of experience in corporate finance, mortgages and investments. She lives in South Riding, VA, with her husband and daughter, and enjoys music, traveling and cooking. Together, our team delivers a collaborative and client-centered experience, offering exceptional service to meet your financial goals.

Even though 32% of Americans experience are financially stressed and money is a constant source of pressure, 73% are using the internet as a source of financial advice, and largely managing their finances alone. This is where a financial advisor can make a difference. Research shows that financially fulfilled adults are 4.3x more likely to work with a financial advisor compared to financially stressed adults.

If financial stress is something you’re dealing with on your own, you don’t have to. Let’s talk through where you are and where you want to go.

After months of expected interest rate cuts, the Federal Reserve is shifting its focus back to managing inflation. This "higher-for-longer" interest rate environment may present compelling opportunities in short-term fixed income, while equities can continue to be supported by strong and broadening earnings growth. Brian Therien, Investment Strategist, explains what this could mean for investors in our Weekly Market Wrap.

The majority of Americans are either conflicted or stressed about their finances, but it doesn’t have to be that way. When your finances reflect what matters most to you, everything feels a little more in sync.

That’s why confidence is just as important as the numbers. If you’ve been wanting more clarity, let’s talk.
