We are thrilled to introduce the newest member of the Lifeworks Advisors family โ Michael Demkiw!
Michael grew up in a normal New York family before moving to South Florida. There, he watched his family run several successful businesses. Though they did well, these businesses faced financial challenges that hurt the family's finances.
It was through witnessing those ups and downs of business taught him valuable lessons. He saw that if his family could make money mistakes, anyone could. He also learned that good planning leads to better results.
For over 30 years, Michael has worked in various sectors within the financial services ecosystem. With each role, banking, insurance, and wealth management, he was able to gain valuable insights that helped to shape a unique perspective on what it takes to provide the most value to his clients.
Because most people have one shot at getting retirement right and often wait until retirement is right upon them, Michael focuses on clients that are within 10 years of retirement, have been great savers, but donโt necessarily know what it takes to make it through 20 years of retirement.
Family and community keep Michael grounded. Living in Cold Spring Harbor, New York, he spends free time with family, playing with his dogs, kayaking, biking, and volunteering. He supports important causes by giving his time and money to:
Memorial Sloan Kettering's Caring Canine program
Pet Partners animal therapy program
US Coast Guard Auxiliary
Big Brothers of America
Third Tier Wealth Management has joined forces with Lifeworks Advisors, and we couldn't be more excited about what this means for the people we serve.
This wasn't just a business decision. It was the right fit. Lifeworks shares our belief that financial planning should be built around how you want to live, not the other way around. Their approach to intentional living, woven through everything from investment management to insurance, estate planning, and tax strategy, is exactly the kind of comprehensive, client-first thinking we've always aspired to bring under one roof.
Together, we can do more of what matters: simplify the complex, connect the dots across every corner of your financial life, and help you actually reach the goals that matter most to you.
That last part is rarer than it should be in this industry. We're honored to be part of a firm that takes it seriously.
More great years ahead. Thank you for trusting us to be part of yours.
Please join me in welcoming Michael to Lifeworks!
