Michael Buell

Who inspires you?

My family, they are the people that have been with me from the beginning and will remain with me. I try to emulate the older generation and inspire the younger.

Do you have any hidden talents or hobbies?

Cooking! It’s one of the best ways I can combine my love of food, a plan (aka recipe), and creativity. It’s always a learning experience and an opportunity to refine and perfect.

What skill do you think everyone should learn?

Compassion. The old adage is patience is a virtue. However, with compassion, patience will follow and at the least, allows us to build better bonds with those around us.

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” – Ferris Bueller

Michael was raised by his mother with his three siblings in Loveland, OH. After graduating from Archbishop Moeller High School, he began studies at The Ohio State University pursuing a major in Mechanical Engineering, which due to the pandemic was cut short where Michael began working full-time managing local restaurant gem, The Silver Spring House.

Shortly after, Michael returned back to school in 2023 attending Carl H. Lindner College of Business at the University of Cincinnati. Taking on a new sense of direction he chose to pursue a Bachelor’s in Business Administration. He plans to graduate in May 2025 with a degree in Finance.

Michael follows in the footsteps of financial professionals, with his grandfather working 40+ years for GM in finance, his grandmother a comptroller for one of the largest real estate companies in NYC, his uncle currently in the NY State Comptroller’s Office and his great-aunt being the first woman in leadership at TWA.
