Meet Michal Zyla
Michal Zyla has always enjoyed drawing on his talents to help others. In college, he relished his time as a tutor and volunteer swim coach for a low-income high school in New York. And now, as a wealth advisor, he is excited to apply his financial knowledge and skills in helping our clients grow and preserve their wealth.
A recent graduate of Columbia University, Michal developed his interest in finance while interning with Kaiser Permanente in the treasury department, where his duties included management and record-keeping of the company’s cash flow.
Today, at Parkworth Wealth Management, he applies a similar analytical mindset to his work as a wealth advisor. His responsibilities include assisting with the preparation of client financial plans, portfolio rebalancing, and tax projections—all with the goal of helping our clients live their best financial life.
Originally from Walnut Creek, California, Michal is also a high-powered swimmer. He began swimming competitively at eight years old, competed at the 2016 U.S. Olympic Team Trials, and finished his Columbia undergraduate career with four school records.
