Michael Roberge brings 22 years of finance experience and an extraordinary record of personal achievement to his role as a Financial Services Representative with the Center for Wealth Preservation.
Michael's educational journey is nothing short of remarkable—he self-funded 11 years of college, earning four degrees: a BS in Biology and MBA in Finance from the University of Connecticut, an MS in Nutrition from the University of Bridgeport, and an MS in Accounting from the University of Phoenix. His career culminated as Director of Strategic Finance and FP&A at Embarc Advisors, but his passion led him to transition from corporate work to building meaningful, one-on-one client relationships.
Michael's purpose is closing the gap for the millions who lack access to thoughtful financial guidance. He believes financial services should empower everyday people to build wealth, not just preserve it. Beyond finance, Michael founded a charity and developed a fitness program for cancer survivors, launching it by completing a 335-mile solo bicycle ride from Boston to New York City—a feat he's accomplished over ten times.
His diverse background includes performing over 25,000 one-on-one fitness and nutrition sessions, serving as an adjunct professor at Southern Connecticut State University, and even headlining a biographical film about a famous artist. This wide-ranging experience taught him resilience, discipline, and how to turn ambitious ideas into purpose-driven outcomes.
Michael's compassionate, creative approach combines strategic thinking with genuine empathy. Though reserved at first, he's an extrovert who thrives on connection and brings integrity and passion to every client relationship. When not serving clients, he stays active through fitness, sports, fishing, and landscaping projects.
