Mike Topley is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional and co-founder of Lansing Street Advisors, which he launched alongside Matt Topley in 2020. As President and Partner, Mike leads the firm's client advisory practice and brings a uniquely well-rounded perspective to every family relationship.
Mike's career spans nearly every corner of the investment industry. Early on, he supported stockbrokers in Philadelphia and institutional traders on Wall Street, gaining a ground-level view of how markets function. At The Vanguard Group, he worked directly with individual investors, coaching them through market cycles and helping them make informed, disciplined decisions. He later joined SEI as an internal wholesaler, partnering with dozens of financial advisors across the country to help them serve their clients and grow their practices.
Before co-founding Lansing Street Advisors, Mike spent four years at a Delaware-based advisory group as the firm's Investment Specialist, advising both individuals and retirement plan sponsors on portfolio construction and long-term planning.
That breadth of experience — retail brokerage, institutional trading, fund management, advisor support, and direct client advisory — is what allows Mike to anticipate client needs and deliver the thoughtful, personalized guidance that defines the Lansing Street Advisors family office experience.
Megan serves as Chief Operating Officer of Lansing Street Advisors, where she leads the firm's operations, technology, and client service infrastructure. With more than 20 years of experience in retail investments, Megan brings a rare combination of operational discipline and client-first instinct to the family office practice.

In those roles, she delivered tailored financial services, oversaw regulatory compliance, trained and coordinated staff, and used data analysis to sharpen day-to-day business operations.
At Lansing Street Advisors, Megan designs and executes the workflows that keep the firm running smoothly — integrating technology across the organization, building scalable processes, and ensuring every client interaction reflects the firm's standard of care. Her leadership style is collaborative and growth-oriented, and she plays a central role in supporting both the team and the firm's long-term goals.
Megan graduated summa cum laude from Penn State University with a focus on Industrial/Organizational Psychology — a discipline she draws on regularly to build effective teams and high-functioning systems.
