About Us | Our Trustees
The two trustees of The Waypoint Foundation are Roger Pugh and Troy Pugh. Their objective is to fulfill the design of the Waypoint Foundation Trust which is to establish and maintain the Waypoint Foundation Scholastic Chess Tournament, Waypoint Foundation Academic Scholarships, and other not-for-profit activities and ventures, all designed for the benefit and development of local youth. The trustees always appreciate input regarding the activities of the foundation.
The following is a snap-shot of the trustees of the foundation:
Roger A. Pugh
Roger is the managing partner and co-founder of Waypoint Wealth Management. Roger started his career in the investment industry in 1997 with a national brokerage firm. In 2005, in order to offer a more comprehensive and broader approach to investment planning, Roger left the national firm and created Waypoint Wealth Management with his brother and partner, Troy Pugh.
Roger and his wife, Leanne, married in 1991 and four beautiful adopted children. All are busy school age children. Leanne keeps busy with the children and hobbies of her own when time allows. The children enjoy reading with mom and dad, wrestling, and playing on the trampoline and in the yard with dad. When Roger is not busy with family he loves to golf, travel, and be involved with community projects such as The Waypoint Foundation activities.
Troy J. Pugh, MBA
Troy is a founding partner of Waypoint Wealth Management, and brother to Roger Pugh. Troy earned his Master of Business Administration degree from Utah State University after receiving his Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing from the Marriott School of Management at Brigham Young University. Troy began his post-undergraduate degree career working as a financial and business analyst for an international product marketing firm.
Eventually graduate school, a growing family, and an extraordinary amount of business travel gave Troy the reason to shift gears and join Roger at a national brokerage firm. The nature of the business agreed much more with family life and gave Troy and his wife, Leslie, the reason they were looking for to return to Troy's home state of Washington. It only took three years before Troy was ready to make the move to the independent side of the investment world in the creation of Waypoint Wealth Management.
Troy and Leslie live in Ephrata with their three children. On occasion when Troy is not spending time with his family he enjoys working on his skills as a fly-fisherman. While fishing for king salmon and tarpon rank high on his list of fishing experiences, Rocky Ford Creek just a few miles out of Ephrata remains his biggest challenge.
