MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: Michael and Emily McCartney

McCartney – March Spotlight Michael and Emily McCartney are a father-daughter duo continuing their family legacy at the Missouri Athletic Club. The McCartney Family are committed Members at the Club and have been for many years starting with Michael’s parents, Judy and John McCartney. Michael remembers watching his father participate in handball with his lifelong friends, many of whom are still Members. As a child, Michael was very active at the MAC, including coming down for the Saturday morning program, where he took judo lessons from Mr. Shin. Later in Michael’s adult life, Mr. Shin became a co-worker of Michael at Anheuser-Busch and now a friend. “We have developed a friendship that is intact today. He is truly an inspiration to me on discipline,” Michael said. Michael joined the Club in 2013 for the premier health and fitness facilities and to create lasting friendships with Members and clients. Members can find the McCartney family at both the Clubhouses dining, working out and attending events amongst other things. Michael enjoys working out at the Club and golfing at Glen Echo and the Legends. When he is traveling, Michael is also a regular user of the reciprocal club privileges. “The Club has allowed me to reconnect with old professional and personal friends, as well as make new ones. I used to work at Lewis Rice, and it is always fun to be downtown and run into other attorneys from Lewis Rice and other firms that I used to work with,” said Michael. Now, he is the President of McCartney Wealth Management and finds the Club a great professional resource. Michael’s interest in finance began when he attended Indiana University Bloomington for their four-year combined MBA and law program. Beginning in corporate law, he pivoted to the finance world and became a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) in 2008. In 2010, McCartney Wealth Management, an Independent RIA, was established. His law background has helped him tremendously with planning and portfolio implementation for clients. “At McCartney Wealth Management, we take an academic approach to both planning and investing and are a true fiduciary in that the only people that pay us are our clients,” Michael said. Inspired by her father and grandparents, Emily followed suit and joined the Club. “As a third-generation Member, I grew up coming to the Club with my grandparents, John and Judy McCartney,” said Emily. After work, Emily enjoys working out at the Downtown Clubhouse. She is sure to catch a meal at both locations with friends and clients. Outside of her leisurely activities, Emily is a very active Member. Currently, she sits on the Finance and Governance Committees. She also stays busy with the Associates Council, Women’s Initiative Group and the Women Business Owner Round Table. She previously sat on the Associates Council Board. Like her father, Emily also has an interest in finance, graduating from the University of Alabama with a degree in finance. She started her career at Mastercard as a data analyst for their digital payments group. Michael, who was once Emily’s soccer coach, later turned into her professional mentor and boss when Emily decided to work alongside her father at McCartney Wealth Management. “Almost five years ago, I pivoted back to finance to work with my dad at McCartney Wealth Management as a Financial Advisor. While learning the ins and outs of the business and assisting in almost all areas, my day primarily focuses on helping clients with their financial planning and investment needs,” said Emily. With years of combined experience, both Michael and Emily understand the daunting process of finding a fiduciary financial planner. At McCartney Wealth Management, clients can expect to understand their true financial picture to make the right decisions to achieve their goals. The McCartney’s find it important to model out scenarios and take clients through a process to properly understand their financial situation and ease any concerns. Ultimately, they assist clients with their accumulated wealth and plan for major life decisions like retirement. “What makes our work so exciting is that life is always changing, but if you have a solid foundation in a plan, you can make adjustments and continue to ease that stress around accomplishing your financial and life goals,” said Emily. Outside of their professional partnership, Michael and Emily enjoy the assortment of events the Club hosts weekly. In addition to the lively Associates events she attends regularly, Emily’s favorite MAC event is the Women of Distinction Luncheon. The Election and Boxing Championship are a quick second due to the camaraderie and tradition that fill the room. Michael has been a fan of soccer for some time, so naturally, the Hermann Trophy Awards Banquet is always marked on his calendar. After years of being Members, the McCartney family makes it a goal to honor the history of the tradition of the Club. “There are so many amazing stories these walls and all the Members can tell, and I hope to continue the tradition of listening to and sharing those stories while also making new memories with the amazing people that make the MAC so great,” Emily proudly said. Emily has high hopes to continue contributing to the Club to make it the best it can be and to honor her grandparents’ commitment to the MAC. She recalls attending a meeting in the Hall of Fame Room Downtown and caught a glimpse of a familiar face hanging on the wall. Emily quickly realized that it was her grandfather, John McCartney, who was inducted into the hall of fame in 2009. It was a special moment for Emily knowing her grandfather has a watchful eye over her. As a proud father, Michael is honored to have his daughter carry on the McCartney legacy at the MAC. As for Michael, he feels complete knowing he has the MAC to continue his lifelong friendships in a comfortable environment. F
