Richard Antonini

Part of my job is to oversee our West Michigan three-office region including Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, and St. Joe. We’ve combined as a collective entity to provide business leaders with a wide range of resources and, in turn, broaden the reputation of Plante Moran as a world-class client service provider. Our staff know me as a partner dedicated to empowering their professional growth. I enjoy the moments when our staff successfully expand their knowledge from theory to real-world applicability.

I’m active in many business and public organizations. As a firm, we’re committed to serving the industries we support and the communities where we live. I’m a member of the Michigan and American Trucking Associations, and a board member of the West Michigan Precision Metalforming Association. These organizations allow me to stay engaged in these industries. I also serve on the boards of The Potters House Christian School and Wedgwood Christian Services.

I’ve written numerous articles on the manufacturing industry covering a range of topics from expanding internationally to maximizing growth opportunities. I have a B.A. in accounting from Ferris State, and I was the recipient of the Ferris State University Distinguished Alumni Award in May 2011.
