Mike Van Valkenburg, Senior Agent

I was born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma.  I graduated from Tulsa Community College and attended classes at the University of Oklahoma.  I spent 15 years in the banking industry where I was Vice President in Commercial Lending.  I spent 10 years heading up the Investigations Section for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Resolution Trust Corporation.  The following 10 years prior to joining Legacy were spent in the sales industry.

I have been married to my wife Charlotte for 37 years and have two sons, Jason and Travis, both of whom I work with at Legacy.  My hobbies include golf, fishing and shooting sports.

Since joining the Legacy team in 2008, I have specialized in marketing, educating and selling a wide range of products designed to meet my clients' ever-changing needs.  I have had the honor of placing over 800 pieces of business in the Oklahoma Market.  I have been able to do this through educating, analyzing and matching my client's needs to a wide variety of products designed to meet and exceed their expectations.

Here at Legacy I’m not only tasked with building my own portfolio but also being a mentor to new agents.  This includes hands-on support like needs assessment training and transitioning to products that best serve client needs. Honesty, integrity and the will to truly help others are the core values of my business.
