Making the Northwestern Mutual Decision
Before becoming a Financial Representative, I worked for a professional hockey team as a scout and I also sold advertising.
Rewards Outweigh Challenges
The greatest reward in this career is the impact I have on my clients' lives. Early in my career, I worked with a client after she lost her husband.
But the career has its challenges such as staying on course and doing the necessary daily activities. Early on, it was challenging to consider whether or not this was the right career decision.
Along the way, I've learned that I'm more disciplined than I thought I could be.
Career Goals
I'm looking forward to getting to my tenth year in the business and becoming a Managing Director.
Some Career Advice
If you're considering becoming a Financial Representative, remember this is a marathon, not a sprint; look at the long road, not the short streets.
The Northwestern Mutual Difference
Northwestern Mutual is differentiated from the others in the financial services industry because of the pride we take in our clients, how we value that relationship and how it relates to us being a mutual company.
Outside of Work
I enjoy giving a lot of my time to Rotary, and spending time with family activities and some golf.
