A Great Team Needs Excellence Behind the Scenes
As the Chief Operating Officer at West Michigan Advisors, LLC , I’m involved in the execution of the firm’s strategic plan. I oversee, accounting, finance, and human resources. Over the past 30 years I have been in the banking industry as a business banker, market manager and on the senior management teams. In addition, I own two businesses in the outdoor industry: Werkman Outfitters and The Pere Marquette River Lodge.
As the COO of West Michigan Advisors, I’m excited to help oversee the growth of firm and making sure we provide superior operational efficiencies without sacrificing the needs of our clients.
