Roger A Van Wazer
Financial Representative
Region: Central

I started upon graduating from Purdue University. I decided to become a Financial Representative for the unlimited opportunity to make a difference in people's lives and to build an independent career. I concluded that corporate opportunities would always be there.

 

The greatest reward is knowing that I am providing the best possible solutions for my clients and that I build deep relationships. I love to serve as my clients' "partner" in helping them achieve their dreams.

 

The career has its challenges, too, such as maintaining consistency, and early on, it's challenging to find discipline.

If you're considering becoming a Financial Representative, understand that expectations are high at Northwestern Mutual.  Representatives who perform at a mediocre level are better served elsewhere. 

 

In 1988 I worked with a young, dual income couple to find the right life insurance solutions. The woman developed cancer a few years later and passed away in 1995. 

 

When her health declined, we knew that we took the right steps years earlier. After she died, her husband was able to scale back his corporate career to devote more time to their two daughters, while at the same time provide full college opportunities just as they had planned. Ultimately, his retirement plans will also continue without interruption.

 

As representatives, we never need to apologize for Northwestern Mutual's products and their performance.  In many ways, I consider my role to be a protector of my clients' interests from many questionable service providers.

 

I coach baseball, basketball and soccer.
