Bruce H. Johnson, CIMA { Consulting Director }
In the summer of 1982, as a young man I had the good fortune of being hired in the investment business in downtown Grand Rapids. As I look back, I do so with a grateful heart, and hopefully, a wiser prospective. I have had the opportunity to develop relationships with clients that have now spanned decades. We are also serving subsequent generations.
I love my job. I love the investment business. It is an honor and a privilege to serve some of the most successful, most influential people in West Michigan on a day to day basis. I am truly fortunate and hope I can contribute to others in a significant way through the relationships we have developed and the solutions we provided.
The consultation process allows us to gain insights and understanding into our client’s world. With a fresh perspective, we are free to provide direction and in a sense act as an advocate on behalf of our clients in the financial marketplace. There is nothing more rewarding then when a sense of “partnership” is formed over time through trust and experience together.
My beautiful wife Margie and I have been blessed with 5 great kids and one recent son-in- law. Brendon, our oldest, lives in Denver and works as a financial advisor (go figure). Lauren just graduated from Hope College and married Aaron Maat, who graduated from Calvin College in Engineering. Lauren is working for Congressman Pete Hoekstra’s new gubernatorial campaign, Aaron works as an engineer at GMB. Lindsay is heading off to Wheaton this fall and hopes to play volleyball. Ryan and Hannah are at home and are attending high school at Holland Christian.
