Meet Mike Longo, the heart and driving force behind A1 Wealth Management. Raised in a blue-collar family, Mike’s journey began alongside his hard-working dad as a Mechanical Engineer. Observing his father’s tireless dedication, working seven days a week, Mike learned invaluable lessons about the true value of hard work and the importance of family bonds.
As the first member of his family to pursue higher education, He graduated with a BA in communications with a minor in PR 3.88 GPA. Mike saw his college experience as a privilege not a gift. This foundation instilled in him a deep commitment to supporting working families in achieving financial security, both in the present and for the future.
Mike ran a tech company from the years of 2002-2018 growing its revenue to 10 million dollars and maintaining employee retention. From 2009 to present, Mike has been running a hard money lending business, bringing extensive knowledge of real estate investing and construction to his practice. Additionally, since 1999, he has been an active investor in the securities market and, since 2002, an accredited investor managing private family funds. In recent years, Mike has also delved into advanced cryptocurrency portfolio management, investing, and trading decentralized finance since 2018.
Growing up, Mike realized that true wealth lies not just in monetary riches, but in the passion and knowledge to empower others. With this ethos at his core, Mike channels his education, expertise, and life experience into serving individuals, business owners, teachers, and union workers alike.
Based in New Jersey and Mike is not only a dedicated professional but also a devoted father to his two young children. His mission is clear: to help hard-working families navigate their financial journeys with confidence, creating secure incomes, managing investments, and crafting robust retirement strategies.
