Why White Pine

The Eastern White Pine isn’t just the tallest tree in the eastern forests; it’s also a source of inspiration for me. I spend several weeks each year at my wilderness retreat on the southern shores of Lake Superior in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, where I’m surrounded by these towering trees. In this remote setting, I find the quiet to recharge, connect with family, and gain clarity—qualities I bring back to my work.

White Pines can live over 400 years and grow up to 200 feet tall—symbols of resilience and strength. At White Pine Value Partners, I bring that same perspective to my clients: helping you build and grow a business that stands the test of time and reaches new heights.
