Michael Bardwell

Michael Bardwell is a Financial Advisor with The Nest Financial, helping individuals, families, and business owners make confident decisions about retirement, investing, and their financial futures. With nearly a decade of experience in financial services, Michael believes good financial planning should make life simpler, not more complicated.

For Michael, being a financial advisor is ultimately about relationships. He believes clients deserve someone who takes the time to know their family, understand what matters most to them, and be there through the different seasons of life.

That commitment to relationships extends well beyond the office. Michael serves as President of the Harrison Public Schools Foundation and on the board of Hillcrest Home and has been an active member of the Harrison Rotary Club since 2015. He is also involved in his church, where he teaches Sunday School and serves as Men's Ministry Director.

Michael and his wife, Kelsey, are raising their family in the Ozarks and are deeply invested in the community they call home. Outside the office, Michael enjoys spending time with his family, following Arkansas sports, and supporting his kids in everything from football to pageants.

Working alongside Layne Ragsdale, CFP^®, Michael is helping carry forward the values The Nest Financial was built upon: personal relationships, thoughtful financial guidance, and a long-term commitment to the families and businesses they serve.
