 Arnie
Prentice co-founded Kibble & Prentice in Seattle, Washington in 1972. Under
his guidance as CEO and chairman, it became one of the largest independent
financial services firms in the Northwest. Today, more than 160 associates work
in offices located in Seattle and nearby Bellevue, offering personal and
business insurance products, overseeing company benefit plans, and managing up
to $450 million corporate and individual investments.
Kibble & Prentice embraces a code of high commercial honor, integrity, and
fair play in both its client and employee relationships. It not only espouses
this philosophy, but acts upon it by encouraging continuing education for its
associates, by offering flexible hours for volunteer work at all levels, and by
fostering leadership roles in civic and community activities. In 1999, it was
awarded the Pacific Northwest Good Works Award, an honor bestowed on corporate
citizens who demonstrate exceptional acts of public service in the Pacific
Northwest. In 2001, the company received the Workplace Award from the King
County Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
The philosophy of a company almost always reflects the personal values of its
helmsman, and Kibble & Prentice is no exception. Arnie Prentice chose a
highly challenging career. He tenaciously stayed the course, completing
rigorous educational, experiential, regulatory and ethics mandates to become a
Registered Investment Advisor, a Chartered Life Underwriter and a Chartered
Financial Consultant. He advanced to the Million Dollar Round Table where he
served as 1987-88 International President. To add to his repertoire, he took on
the daunting field of emerging markets and acquisitions. Along the way he
volunteered time as a member of many professional and civic associations at the
international, national and local levels.
Well-known in the business community for his professional acumen, his
leadership skills, and his humanity, Arnie is eagerly recruited to assist other
managers with their operations. Besides Long Shadows Vintners, Prentice serves
on the boards of Flow International, Northland Telecommunications Corporation
and Starbucks Coffee Company.
