Michael Pivar took a unique path to the world of financial services. After graduating from Ramapo College of New Jersey in 1996—and long before founding Pivar Financial Group with Kevin Gray and Don Bazemore—he began his career in the music industry, helping to launch the careers of platinum-selling artists whose names you know.
(It was during his 11-year tenure with RCA that he picked up the nickname “Peev,” which many of you call him today.)
In 2008, Michael moved to West Seattle, continuing to work in the music industry while focusing on raising his family; he and his wife have two sons. Ultimately, however, as someone with a unique ability to make people feel comfortable, he was a natural for the insurance industry. (After all, not many people can make talking about insurance enjoyable!)
After joining another company as an advisor for health, life, and disability insurance, he became an expert on the Affordable Care Act—and soon was regarded as an authority on healthcare and retirement planning, giving ACA seminars across the state. He decided to make the leap and started his own firm in 2017.
When Michael isn’t meeting with clients in his signature velvet jackets. In his free time, you can find him on the golf course and coaching youth baseball all over the Pacific Northwest. Pivar Financial Group contributes and sponsors youth baseball programs and Michael lights up any time he has a chance to talk baseball with kids in the neighborhood.
