A Rewarding Career Choice
Before becoming a Financial Representative, I was a college student. The greatest reward in this career is having personal freedom and the ability to do most anything I want.

It's challenging, too. Just surviving the first few years was hard, building enough client base to keep myself sufficiently busy.

But I've learned it is all about the journey. You never "arrive."

Looking Forward
I'm looking forward to my 30th anniversary with the Network next August. Attending Career School many years ago and completing my Certified Life Underwriter designation were career milestones for me.

Some Career Advice
This career has allowed me to do things I would never dreamed possible before starting.

If you're considering this career, get off to a fast start and make it a real goal to submit business every single week for at least the first few years.

By all means, the product distinguishes Northwestern Mutual from the others in the financial services business.

Outside of Work
I am involved in music and with my church.
