My Story and Services

For more than three decades, Randy Bettich has helped clients pursue their financial goals by working with them to manage, build, and preserve wealth. In addition to leading a successful investment practice in Southwest Michigan, Randy is deeply committed to serving the community he calls home.

Randy has been an active member of the Rotary Club of St. Joseph/Benton Harbor for more than 25 years. He served as club president in 2006 and later as trustee of the club’s foundation from 2007 to 2012, returning for an additional term as foundation president. Randy has also played a leading role in the club’s premier community event—the Rotary Track Meet—serving as chair or co-chair for 17 years. The event brings together athletes from more than a dozen Southwest Michigan high schools, awards scholarships to student-athletes, and has grown into the largest non-school-sponsored track meet in the state of Michigan.

Randy currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Lake Michigan College Foundation, where he previously served as president and now co-chairs the Investment and Finance Committee. His commitment to community service also includes nine years as a trustee of the Lakeshore Excellence Foundation, supporting the Stevensville–Lakeshore school system, and more than a decade on the Board of the Lakeland Regional Health System Foundation, where he served as vice president and president and was an active member of the investment committee. Randy was recently invited to join the Board of Directors of the Humane Society of Southwest Michigan.

Outside of work and community service, Randy enjoys the outdoors and has spent many years coaching high school and youth wrestling.
