About Mike Stapleton

My Background


I’m a Florida Based Entrepreneur, Professional, Registered Stock Brokerage Principal, Investment Advisor, and Accredited Investment Fiduciary, with many fun hobbies. I’m a graduate of Purdue University, where I earned a bachelors degree in Legal Studies. I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a 4.0 GPA. I’m currently accepted to Villanova in their MPA program, and I take classes as time permits. I hold current FINRA series 7, 65, 63 and 24 licenses. As law schools become available online I’m planning on getting a Juris Doctorate at some point. Lifelong learning…


Exploring Business Interests

When I’m not working with clients at Stapleton Advisors or working in my finance career as a stock brokerage principal & advisor, I’m a professional songwriter, musician and publisher.

Creativity is something that comes naturally to me. I’ve been involved in music for over 40 years, and I believe it has helped me think with both sides of my brain. It has allowed me to understand business and finance better, with a unique approach to problem solving.

I Love Art

I spend a lot of time observing art, both visual and audial.

I’m obsessed with artist’s perspectives. I believe seeing or hearing the world through someone else’s eyes (or ears) helps us put ourselves in other people’s situations. It makes us all more interesting.
