Glenn is passionate about life and spirited about serving others to help them reach a higher prize. As a former seminary student, family man, husband, father, father-in law and grandfather of two, he knows that there is much more to life than money. He brings over three decades of experience as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, and as President Emeritus of MarsJewett, he works tirelessly to maintain a culture of caring, excellence and service.
Glenn graduated from Bucknell University in Pennsylvania and went on to attend a seminary in Washington, DC. There, he met his wife Dianna, ultimately deciding to follow her out to Seattle, where they married and began their family. Glenn began his career in civil engineering, but felt a calling to “build lives, not bridges.” He began serving clients in the insurance industry, but disliked the pressure he felt to sell specific products rather than offer more personalized service. In 1981, he got his CFP® designation and found his true calling helping families navigate their finances and achieve their dreams.
In 1983, Glenn co-founded Capital Planning Partners. He found that—perhaps due to his engineering background—his biggest growth came from teaching seminars at the Boeing Management Association. At one such seminar in 1994, he met Scott Jewett, a Boeing employee who was nurturing a passion for financial planning. Glenn hired Scott less than a year later, and in 2001, they left Capital Planning Partners to found MarsJewett.
Glenn is unwavering in his commitment to serving others. He is passionate about educating clients and colleagues and creating a culture of true teamwork at MarsJewett. Outside the office, Glenn is a proud husband, father and grandfather, a perennial optimist, and a total sports nut. He is active in his church and local community, where his work reflects his deep commitment to family welfare and education.
