Ever since his high school accounting class, Doug knew he wanted to have a career in public accounting. After graduating from Western Michigan University, Doug started working for a medium sized firm in 1984 that later merged with Plante Moran.
​
In 1988, Doug started his own firm Vandersalm & Zwart, and later came to join Brink, Key & Chludzinski in 2000 for the growth potential and the environment. In 2002, Doug became a partner. Along with managing his clients with their tax and audit needs, he also helps with overseeing and managing the firm. "The highlight of this job is the day-to-day interaction I have with my clients and helping make strategic decisions that will impact their business."
​
When Doug isn't at the office, he is spending time with his wonderful wife of over 35 years up north at their cabin, golfing, shooting sporting clays, boating with their 2 adult children or reading.
