There’s No Question About the Center of
Dave Guthrie’s World. Family.

If you want to learn what’s really important to Dave Guthrie, step into this local businessman’s office. There, atop his desk and on the walls, you’ll see multiple images of sons Michael, Joshua and Jason and wife Kathy. It’s a veritable family gallery with Dave as the proud curator. “My whole life revolves around my love for my wife and three boys,” he declares. “I honestly can’t imagine living without them.” In many ways, this accomplished professional embodies the phrase “family man.”

One of the Guthrie family’s favorite destinations is Kids Island. It’s among the most playful places in town.

Nearest and Dearest

Most moments when he’s not serving his business clients, Dave spends in the company of those nearest and dearest to his heart. He and Kathy frequently take the boys swimming at a community pool near their home. They love visiting area parks as well—especially Kids Island, known for its play space and large sculptures created with old tires. Fishing is a family favorite. So are movies. “It almost doesn’t matter what we’re doing,” Dave says. “The important thing is that we’re together, having fun and enjoying one another’s company.”

Hometown Atmosphere

This native of West Virginia has lived on the Eastern Seaboard the balance of his life. It’s home, where he feels most comfortable. But Dave recalls with special fondness a stint in the Army, from 1985 to 1991, when he was stationed in Germany. “I loved those years—the people, the culture, the history, the new experiences,” he says. “It was definitely one of the most enriching times of my life.” Still, he’s never been more securely and happily rooted than on the Peninsula, which he lauds for its rich history, cultural diversity, hometown atmosphere, neighborly people and excellent schools. According to Dave, “It’s the perfect place for raising a family.”

Dave’s empathetic style of communication inspires confidence in all the clients he serves.
