About Us

Who is the Financial Planning Firm 4SWM?

With over 40 years of dedicated service, Four Seasons Wealth Management has been a trusted partner providing financial planning and investment management advice. Established on a foundation of integrity, expertise, and personalized service, we are proud to support clients in building, preserving, and passing on their financial legacy through multiple generations. Founder Steve Wedel recruited Michael Stalka in 2018 to lead Four Seasons into the evolving financial services landscape. In 2022, Michael Stalka took ownership through a carefully planned succession from Founder Steve Wedel. This succession was a significant milestone for our firm, allowing Four Seasons to continue serving decade long clients through their retirement journey, bringing a fresh vision, and incorporating the latest technology in the financial service industry.

Our Vision: The Parable of the Sower

Michael Stalka believes that wise financial planning is much like the Parable of the Sower from Matthew 13. Just as a farmer carefully chooses where to plant his seeds for the greatest yield, effective financial planning involves selecting the right “soil” for each investment and financial decision. If you plant your savings and investments wisely—making choices that are aligned with your goals and values—your wealth has the potential to thrive and grow abundantly. Conversely, unwise decisions can lead to missed opportunities or even losses. His approach centers around helping you make informed, intentional choices about where and how you “plant” your resources. We understand that each client’s goals are unique, and we provide personalized guidance to help you achieve financial growth, stability, and prosperity, now and for future generations.

Our Mission

Our mission is to educate our clients, so they are empowered to meet their immediate needs while supporting their values and dreams for future generations. Whether you are planning for retirement, managing multi-generational wealth, or preparing for life’s milestones, we are here to support you with tailored strategies and a commitment to putting you first.

Our Commitment to You

Michael Stalka is deeply committed to building long-lasting relationships with his clients. He wants to be your trusted partner, supporting you with clarity, care, and dedication as you make choices that will help your financial legacy thrive.

Thank you for considering Four Seasons as your financial partner. We look forward to partnering with you along your journey!
