Paul Schluckebier grew up in the farming community of Frankenmuth, Michigan, learning lifelong lessons, such as respect, trust, hard work, and the value of a handshake.  Paul paid his own way through college, gaining an understanding of the importance and value of money at an early age.

A licensed financial advisor since 1984, Paul serves as Managing Director/Investments and the leader of the Schluckebier Hood Wealth Management Group in Owosso, Michigan.  He earned the CERTIFED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification from the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards Inc., which identifies those individuals who have met the experience requirements of the CFP® Board, have successfully completed financial planning coursework, and have passed the CFP® Certification Examination.

Paul believes in personalized investment plans that are diversified across various market sectors.  He helps his clients fully understand where their portfolio is moving and what needs to be done to pursue their financial goals.  He begins by educating his clients on the complex world of investing, ensuring they realize what they own and why they own it.  Paul believes “investing is like an old-fashioned farm.  You plant corn, soybeans, wheat; add hay, and pretty soon, you have developed a diversified approach where no one calamity should wipe you out.”

Paul has resided in Owosso since 1984 and is deeply involved with his community.  He lives his favorite expression:  “Leave things better than you found them.”  He’s accomplished this through a variety of pro bono activities, including having served as trustee of the Shiawassee Community Foundation, vice president of the Memorial Healthcare Trustees, board member of the United Way, and past president of the Owosso Public Schools Board of Education.  Paul also serves on the board of trustees of Baker College of Owosso and the Shiawassee Valley Development Corporation.  He values spending time with his wife, Cindy, and their three children.  In his spare time, he loves living on his farm in rural Shiawassee County.
