Clark Wealth Partners, LLC

Beginnings:  Early on in his life and career, founder Mike Clark believed happiness was found on the other side of financial gain and success.  Motivated to build a life for himself and his family that was different from what he experienced growing up, Mike became a Financial Advisor aiming for a life of achievement, means, and ultimately, fulfillment.

Realization:  After years of navigating the hustle, the exhaustion, and the striving for more, Mike hit a turning point.  Professionally, his income had doubled and flourished - but personally, he was the unhappiest he had ever been.  In a moment of realization, he saw the emptiness and the void chasing financial gain had created in his life.  

Redirection:  This new perspective changed the course of Mike's life.  It motivated him to want to build something of significance - something that would have lasting value and impact on the lives of others.  Inspired to help individuals and families navigate their relationship to success and money, in 2016 he founded Clark Wealth Partners.

When not working, Mike enjoys spending time with his wife, two kids and two bonus kids.  Mike loves coaching his daughter's softball team and watching his son play baseball.  He and his wife, Beth, enjoy playing golf, trying new restaurants and old favorites.  

Mental health and giving back is important to Mike, which is why he's a Board Member of Karla Smith Behavioral Health in O'Fallon, IL and Caritas Family Solutions in Belleville, IL.
