A Rewarding Career Shift

Before becoming a Financial Representative, I was in school at Eastern Illinois University. I chose this career because it provided a lot of freedom and flexibility.

The greatest reward has been accomplishing my financial goals, while the greatest challenge was starting up my own business. Early in the career, it was challenging to meet enough quality individuals.

But along the way, I've learned that I can be a very focused person.
  
A Time I Made a Difference
I really enjoyed helping one of my clients prepare for college for their children. It was satisfying to know that once we had the right things in place, he was grateful he had met me and he felt great that he had started saving. 

It's the time we spend with our clients that differentiates Northwestern Mutual Financial Network from the others in the financial services business. 

Notable Milestones
I have made Pacesetter First Forty and was Rookie of the Year for the McTigue Financial Group. I would like to make Million Dollar Round Table this year and am just below qualifying.

If you become a Financial Representative, hit Pacesetter 40, because it is a great confidence builder.

Outside of Work
I enjoy spending time with family, friends and planning my upcoming wedding with my fiance.
