“I feel truly blessed to have found my calling in this career and to have built this team of wonderful people. Every day, we get to use our expertise and experience to help make peoples’ lives better.”

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.

“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.
