ISLAMORADA, FL, September 11, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Michael W. Tolbert has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

A well-known professional in his field, Mr. Tolbert has established a distinguished career as the owner, president and day trader of BlueSky Trading Company LLC. Since 2015, he has overseen the company's operations, guiding its growth from a modest start-up to an enterprise with approximately 8,000 traders across 30 countries. In his leadership role, he coordinates daily with the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief marketing officer and staff. He also collaborates with external marketing and technology firms to ensure the company's continued expansion and innovation.

A significant aspect of Mr. Tolbert's professional journey is his commitment to live trading and education. He dedicates time to teaching individuals new to trading, reviewing markets — particularly focusing on the Nasdaq — and sharing his trading strategies with followers. When participants encounter challenges, he offers personalized assistance to help them improve their skills. His approach is deeply rooted in a philosophy of service. He initially founded BlueSky Trading Company with the intention of becoming both a successful trader and an inspiration to others. Guided by faith and a desire to help, he pledged to teach for free if given the opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

Under Mr. Tolbert's stewardship, BlueSky Trading Company has expanded fourfold beyond his original expectations. The company's financial trajectory reflects this growth: from $30,000 in its first year to $60,000 in the second year, eventually reaching $300,000 per month and annual revenues between $10 million and $20 million. These achievements are underscored by testimonials from those he has mentored, individuals who credit him with helping them secure homes, support their families and achieve financial independence.

Prior to his current role, Mr. Tolbert spent 23 years as an over-the-road truck driver. During this period, he developed an interest in trading and became self-taught by listening to educational content during long drives at night. He studied various trading indicators and strategies, practicing each morning before completing his deliveries. This unorthodox approach enabled him to develop a unique trading system that rivals those taught in formal settings.

Mr. Tolbert's educational background includes coursework in medical school, followed by approximately two years of law school studies. Although he attended college on several occasions and served for a few years in the National Guard, he ultimately found his passion outside traditional academic settings. His overall journey is marked by resilience. After surviving a serious car accident in 1997 and witnessing numerous life-changing events, he credits daily prayer and faith in God as central to his perseverance and success.

Additionally, support from family has been instrumental throughout Mr. Tolbert's life. His wife Lisa has served as a constant source of encouragement during challenging times, motivating him not to abandon his aspirations. Their daughter works alongside him at BlueSky Trading Company and is learning all aspects of the business with the goal of one day assuming leadership responsibilities. Mr. Tolbert envisions building generational wealth by passing the company down to his family.

Civic engagement is another cornerstone of Mr. Tolbert's legacy. He actively volunteers as a teacher and trainer for stock trading and investment courses in high schools and correctional facilities. Through these efforts, he seeks to empower individuals from diverse backgrounds with practical financial skills. He also participates in weekly meetings with business leaders focused on collaborative community improvement initiatives.

In addition to personal acknowledgments of his success and mentorship, Mr. Tolbert received a personal invitation to attend the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. This milestone provided him ample opportunities for dialogue with global leaders, an accomplishment he is very proud of.

Looking ahead, Mr. Tolbert is committed to expanding access to financial education nationwide. He aims to introduce stock trading and investing courses into schools, colleges and universities across the United States, working closely with educators and government officials to implement these programs. His mission is to illuminate pathways toward financial stability for individuals facing economic challenges by demonstrating that even modest investments can yield significant returns.
