In 1962, Jim Petersen founded Benefits Northwest. Four decades later, that company has become Petersen Hastings, the area's premier wealth management group. He built a team that maintains his commitment to sound ethics and solid relationships. Jim is the company's designated dawg, with a B.A. in Economics and Political Science from the University of Washington.
Many local organizations have benefited from Jim's expertise. He has served on the boards of directors of the Tri-City Industrial Development Council and Mid-Columbia Mental Health, among others.
Jim loves golf. A couple of years ago he rung up his seventh hole-in-one.
Then two holes later his playing partner ricocheted a drive off his forehead!
It's rare that a hole-in-in is officially recognized without the round being
completed, but that's his golfer's story. And he's out stalking number eight on
a regular basis.
