Who We Are

J. Michael “Mike” Salley

Founder, Financial Advisor

Hailing from a tough “inner city” NYC neighborhood, Michael’s strong faith and work ethic were instilled by his parents. He is their first-born son of eight children. Following a public school education, he pursued degrees in American History and Political Science at Queens College, initially intending to become a lawyer.

After a successful 46-year career on Wall Street, a divine calling led Michael to South Carolina, his father’s birthplace, where he founded Salley Wealth Advisors Group, LLC.

Now 72, Michael leads a fulfilling life balancing his thriving practice with faith and community service. He is a dedicated Deacon and Men’s Ministry leader at his church, teaches Bible Study, serves on multiple non-profit boards, and mentors young boys. An avid athlete, he enjoys fitness, cycling, golf, and is a passionate reader, jazz enthusiast, and cook.

SWAG, LLC represents Michael’s legacy, built on faith, family, and community, which he hopes will endure for generations to come.
