Our Story
“Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it…he who doesn’t…pays it.”
– Albert Einstein
Einstein never worked in the financial industry, but now, his words ring as true as ever. Like him, we are visionaries, because we value education, are open minded and continually challenge the status quo.
Eleven years ago, after realizing how many families struggled with saving and planning for their children’s college education, our founder, Tom Chrobak, launched his own college planning company. Just as paying for college is only one part of a family’s financial plan, college planning is just one chapter of our story.
MC2 has now grown into a successful, holistic financial planning firm. MC2 also partners with and utilizes resources in various financial professionals as needed in the formulation of each of our client’s wealth planning.
Thomas M. Chrobak is a financial adviser, speaker and author with over 15 years of experience in the financial services industry. He specializes in working with people who are planning for their retirement or are already retired. As a financial adviser with mc2 Wealth Management, Thomas, along with his team, empowers his clients by helping build financial legacies beyond their lifetimes, while also helping them plan for ever-changing financial needs.
As a holistic fiduciary, Thomas focuses on retirement income planning, as well as legacy building. He is dedicated to educating his clients on the new financial realities of the modern world and how utilizing holistic financial planning strategies could help create financial peace in these uncertain times.
He enjoys spending time with his family, reading, travel, sports and has great passion for cooking. He lives in the suburbs of Chicago with his loving wife and business partner, Sonia, two beautiful kids, Szymon and Natalia and their big, playful dog, Auron.
