An education in philosophy and complex problem solving and an early career in ministry, fundraising, and counseling set Guy on his unique path of investment management and overall wealth management. This blend of capabilities gives him a holistic perspective on client financial assets––from their marketable investments to their business and real estate investments, as well.

His expertise centers on collaborative leadership, bringing together the best possible team solutions for each client, and coaching clients on how to effectively transfer their wealth for the benefit of their families and/or communities. Additionally, dozens of business owners can speak to Guy’s positive impact on the value of their businesses—ranging from his advice on ownership and management transitions to his management of their financial affairs as they enjoy retirement.

Guy earned his Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from Wheaton College and studied Philosophy of Religion at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School––both in Illinois. Throughout his career of 25+ years, he’s earned these additional recognitions: CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (heightening his expertise in tax planning, estate planning, and investments), Certified Exit Planning Advisor, and Advising the Family Enterprise (at the Drucker School of Management at Claremont Graduate University).

He and his wife Donna are active supporters of Young Life and attend Crossroad Bible Church in Grand Rapids. 

In his free time, Guy works on his golf game, staying in shape, and adding more books on neuroscience and World War II history to his personal library. Guy and Donna reside in Holland, Mich., enjoying its natural beauty along with time spent with their adult children, Joseph and Sara.
