Mike Pavlot
Financial Advisor, Partner
A former teacher in the Thousand Islands Central School District, Mike has a special understanding of the needs of educators. He became involved in financial services because he knew how vital it was for teachers to plan properly. He saw these educators making amazing contributions to the future in the form of their students, yet many failed to adequately plan for their own retirement. Mike has now been assisting clients to plan for retirement and a board range of financial matters for almost 20 years. He operates the Clayton, NY office, where he lives with his wife and three children. Mike is still active in school athletics and is a member of the International Association of Approved Basketball Officials (IAABO).

He sought to address financial concerns before a public administrator was needed rather than after the fact. Blake lives in New Hartford, with his wife, Cathy.
