Educated investors are confident investors

At MarsJewett, education is an important pillar of our culture. We are committed, as professionals, to being lifelong learners, constantly striving to bring new knowledge and value to our clients. We’re also deeply committed to educating our clients, because trust is based in transparency. We want you to understand all of your options, and when we recommend an action, we want you to know what that recommendation is based on.

Some of our clients take an active role in managing their finances, while others prefer to be more hands off. No matter how “hands-on” you are, we believe in sharing our knowledge and in connecting our clients to resources that can give them greater confidence in their financial plan.

Social Security and the Pursuit of Financial Independence

A lot has changed in the workforce – and human longevity – since the Social Security system was established in 1935. Nearly a century ago, retirement arrived at age 62, and many people passed away by age 65. Retirement was three years, not twenty-five or more. Today,...

“We get to go through life with our clients. I feel privileged to meet with them and hear about what is happening in their world and with their families. They share their dreams and fears with us, and we get to help them achieve those dreams and conquer those fears.”

Scott infuses everything in his life with care, dedication and a commitment to helping others. As a financial advisor, he serves his clients with wisdom, integrity and kindness, and he has a knack for making complex things simple. He is proud to lead a team of wonderful people and to have helped shape MarsJewett’s culture of service.

A Bellevue native, Scott graduated with honors from Pacific Christian College with dual degrees in Business Administration and Biblical Studies. After college, he spent the first seven years of his career at Boeing. During that time, he and his wife began helping members of their church who were struggling to manage their finances or facing financial crisis, and this helped spark his passion to become a financial advisor. In 1994, he attended a seminar Glenn (Mars) was teaching for the Boeing Management Association, and a year later, Glenn hired him. The rest, as they say, is history.

Scott feels that he truly found his calling as a financial advisor, as it combines his passion for helping people with his love of untangling the technical complexities of finance and investing. He actually gets excited when Congress changes the tax and finance laws, because it means he gets to dig into the research and figure out new planning strategies that will benefit our clients!

Scott is a devoted husband and father of three. Sports are a lifelong passion for him and his wife Kim, and when they’re not watching their own kids play, you’ll likely find them rooting for the Mariners, Seahawks or Huskies—he even proposed to Kim on the 50-yard line of Husky Stadium. Now that his kids are (mostly) out of the house, he has more time to work on his golf game… and he’s quick to say that it needs some work.

Scott is also very active in his community and his church, where he has served for over 25 years in financial ministry. He previously served on the boards of two non-profit organizations, and currently serves on the trust and investment committee at the school his kids graduated from.
