Meet the Team Behind Your Financial Success

At Attentive Investments, our company philosophy centers on one simple belief: education leads to empowerment, and empowerment leads to financial success. We're not just your financial advisors—we're your partners in building a secure and prosperous future.
Our Story

From Vision to Legacy

  • 1989   

    Mike Dalton founded his independent investment advisory business in 1989 as an extension of his accounting practice, recognizing that his clients needed more than just tax preparation—they needed comprehensive financial guidance.
  • 2002   

    Mike began mentoring Athena Stone, sharing his expertise and instilling the values that became the foundation of our company culture.
  • 2004   

    Mike established Attentive Investment Managers to provide specialized, focused service that truly lived up to the "attentive" promise.
  • 2021   

    Mike reached his well-deserved retirement and Athena seamlessly transitioned into ownership, and we evolved into Attentive Investments.
  • Today

    We continue Mike's legacy while expanding our vision. We've grown from a single advisor to a dynamic team, but our core mission remains unchanged: providing outstanding, personalized service that puts your financial success first.

Athena Stone

Founder & Principal Advisor

Athena's journey in investment management began in 2003, but her passion for financial education drives everything she does today. Under Mike Dalton's mentorship, she earned her Investment Advisor Law Locense (Series 65) in 2007 and continued pursuing advanced certifications, including her Certified Retirement Planning Counselor (CRPC) and Accredited Investment Fiduciary (AIF), in addition to a Masters Degree in Personal Financial Planning and certification as a Certified Credit Counselor.

Athena's core belief is simple: her purpose is to help people achieve their personal financial goals while educating them to make sound financial decisions independently. She focuses on client education and the continued pursuit of goals, ensuring every client understands not just what they're investing in, but why.

When she's not helping clients build their financial futures, Athena enjoys gardening, training in martial arts, and spending quality time with her husband and four children in Lodi, California.

Education Equals Success

Our company philosophy is built on the foundation that informed clients make better financial decisions. We don't believe in keeping you in the dark about your investments—we believe in lighting the path forward through education and transparency.

  • Fiduciary Responsibility

Community Involvement

We believe that strong communities create strong economies, and strong economies benefit everyone's financial future. Our client commitment extends beyond individual portfolios to supporting the local businesses and organizations that make our region thrive.
