Meet the Salley Wealth Advisors Group Team
At Salley Wealth Advisors Group, LLC, we believe in the power of faith, love, and family. For Mike Salley, founder and lead advisor, these principles have been the cornerstone of his life and now extend to the very core of our team.
J. Michael “Mike” Salley
Founder, Financial Advisor
Hailing from a tough “inner city” NYC neighborhood, Michael’s strong faith and work ethic were instilled by his parents. He is their first-born son of eight children. Following a public school education, he pursued degrees in American History and Political Science at Queens College, initially intending to become a lawyer.
After a successful 25-year career on Wall Street, a divine calling led Michael to South Carolina, his father’s birthplace, where he founded Salley Wealth Advisors Group, LLC.
Now 70, Michael leads a fulfilling life balancing his thriving practice with faith and community service. He is a dedicated Deacon and Men’s Ministry leader at his church, teaches Bible Study, serves on multiple non-profit boards, and mentors young boys. An avid athlete, he enjoys fitness, cycling, golf, and is a passionate reader, jazz enthusiast, and cook.
SWAG, LLC represents Michael’s legacy, built on faith, family, and community, which he hopes will endure for generations to come.
