Our History

Our Manchester Roots

Since 1920, and through four generations, the Stephen family has owned and operated small businesses in Manchester, N.H. Our founder Chuck Stephen’s community business roots were planted by his great-grandfather, who ran the Oriental Restaurant downtown. Chuck grew up in the restaurant business, working for his father, Bobby Stephen, at the family-owned and operated Vault Restaurant.

After graduating from Trinity High School, Chuck enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. He often credits his time in the Marines as the most developmental time in his life, this strengthened his commitment to community and greater good.

Client-Centered

After returning to NH and with a growing family, Chuck started his career at Mass Mutual, helping friends and family with insurance and investment solutions.

While learning the financial industry, he worked towards an Associate’s Degree in Business Management from New Hampshire College (now Southern New Hampshire University). From an early point in his career, Chuck discovered that the most pertinent way to support clients was to establish an independent company. Glenwood was founded in the spirit of making decisions that are in the best interest of the client and their family, without bias from the financial services industry.

In Glenwood Investment Group, Chuck built an independent investment advisory business that was not biased toward certain investment or insurance companies. This allowed him to help clients make better financial decisions and provide advice that catered to their specific needs.

A Multi-Generational Journey

Founder Chuck’s dedication and expertise built a strong reputation for personalized financial planning that truly makes a difference. But his vision extended beyond success. He believed in fostering a legacy, which brings us to his son, Thomas.

Witnessing his father’s impact on clients sparked Thomas’ passion for financial planning. He joined the team in 2017 and was eager to learn and contribute his own perspective. This multi-generational approach positions us perfectly to bridge the gap between traditional planning and modern realities. Thomas now leads Glenwood and is looking forward to working with you to create a personalized financial plan.
