Don Westerhoff

Don Westerhoff, a founder of Financial Services of Bradenton, had been involved in the insurance and financial services industry for more than 40 years. Don was a graduate of Bethel University in St Paul, Minnesota, with a major in communication and a minor in business. He started in the life insurance business and gravitated to the investment side of financial planning as that industry continued to grow and diversify.

Wealth management and retirement planning became an integral part of Don’s life as he worked with hundreds of clients over his career. In 1982, due to a series of health issues, Don sold his agency in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and moved to Florida. After a few years of rest and recuperation, Don found himself answering questions from friends and acquaintances more frequently relating to insurance, retirement and investing. This encouraged him to get back into business, on a smaller scale, but making himself available to guide people with their financial decisions.

Don retired from Financial Services of Bradenton and the end of 2024. He and his wife Lynne are enjoying time with their extended family and are still involved at their church.
