Michael Lallathin

I was born and raised in Northeast, Ohio. I proudly graduated as a Wadsworth Grizzly and an Ohio State Buckeye! At THE Ohio State University, I graduated with a bachelor’s in Criminal Justice and achieved Suma Cum Laude. I worked as a legal assistant and decided to change my career path. I went back to school at the University of Akron and obtained my Certificate in Financial Planning.

After passing the SIE, the Series 7, and the Series 66 Exams, I am a licensed and registered Financial Advisor. My focus areas are asset management and financial planning. I am currently registered in Ohio, Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, and Texas.

Ever since I was introduced to Dave Ramsey’s curriculum in high school, I fell in love with personal finance. I have been through his financial courses and read some of his books. I hold a lot of his principles near and dear to me, and his teachings have had a huge impact on my life. I want what is best for our clients and getting them to achieve financial stability is the ultimate goal. We want to help reduce our clients' financial stress by providing them with quality services at CenTrust.

In my spare time, I love watching football and baseball. THE Ohio State Buckeyes, the Cleveland Browns, and the Cleveland Guardians (Indians) are my favorite sports teams to watch. I also love to garden. In addition, I love to go to concerts and listen to live music. My favorite genres are 60s-80s classic rock and 80s-early 00s country music. My top favorite bands and artists are: The Eagles, Night Ranger, Def Leppard, George Strait, Alan Jackson, Brooks and Dunn and Alabama.
