Our Qualifications

Michael L. Bell, Jr., CWS®
Senior Vice President, Financial Advisor

Everyone has goals and challenges that are unique to them. Mike Bell leverages his knowledge, experience and disciplined planning process to connect with each of his clients, help them define their own vision of what they want to accomplish and then develop their path to achieve it. Life is rarely static, and neither is financial planning, so Mike and his clients periodically review their progress and make adjustments accordingly to stay on track.

Mike joined D.A. Davidson in 1998 from Piper Jaffray. Before joining the financial services industry, he led a successful career in sales and management with national manufacturing and transportation companies. Mike believes his diverse past experiences helped him develop the leadership, discipline, perseverance and forward-thinking abilities that prepared him for his career as a financial advisor.

Mike holds a bachelor's degree in business administration from Lewis & Clark College and the Certified Wealth Strategist® (CWS®) designation from the Cannon Financial Institute. The CWS® designation is granted to professionals, like Mike, who have demonstrated an advanced understanding of wealth management and the knowledge to work effectively for clients with more complex wealth issues.

Mike lives in the Snoqualmie Valley with his wife, Trang, and three children. Outside of work, he enjoys soccer, golf, hiking, diving, and volunteering in the community, and is a Falls Little League Committee board member.
