Waterway Wealth Management

Yesterday we celebrated this guy's birthday in style! But honestly, Dan Michalk is worth celebrating much more than just one day year. He's our fearless leader — our mentor, strategic coach, visionary, and mostly our valued and trusted friend. If there's anyone who's a walking, talking textbook example of Full Living, it's Dan! Thanks for being awesome.

International conflicts feel distant until they hit us in the wallet! For Dan Michalk, it was a stop at the gas pump that sparked a bigger reflection on inflation, interest rates, market volatility, and what may lie ahead for investors in the months to come.

At Waterway, we are constantly striving to stay on the cutting edge of planning and investing. That’s why we’re proud to congratulate Daniel Trgovich, CFA, CAIA, on earning the Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA) designation from the CAIA Association.

This globally respected certification reflects advanced expertise in alternative investments and a deep commitment to understanding the evolving financial landscape on behalf of the families we serve. For our clients, this means another level of care and expertise in private equity, private credit, real assets, hedge funds, and other sophisticated portfolio strategies.

Well done, Dan T. We are grateful for the dedication you bring to the Waterway team and our valued clients every day.

Full Living is not something we just talk about. It is something we strive for in the lives we touch and the communities we serve.

Last night, we were honored to support Meals on Wheels Montgomery County at their gala event, "A Night in Nashville." They are among our favorite community partners because their work reaches far beyond a delivered meal. They serve hundreds of homebound seniors across our community with nutrition, transportation, and meaningful human connection.

This is such a worthy use of our time and resources— to share what we have been given to care for others, to strengthen relationships, and to make sure no one is overlooked.

We are honored and grateful to stand alongside Meals On Wheels Montgomery County. 340,000 meals delivered to seniors in fiscal year 2025! Well done, friends!

Today, we’re celebrating Kristen Cardoza and her 8-year anniversary as Executive Assistant to the CEO at Waterway Wealth Management.

Kristen plays a unique and vital role in the life of our firm. She brings order to complexity, and a calm and thoughtful presence in the office. She is often the first voice people hear when they call on the phone, and the first smile that welcomes them when they walk through our doors. That consistency, warmth, and care set the tone for the entire Waterway experience.

We’re incredibly grateful for Kristen and the trust she’s built over the past eight years. Join us in celebrating her work anniversary.
