Lending a hand in my community.
As part of Northwestern Mutual, I'm proud to help accelerate the search for better childhood cancer treatments while supporting families undergoing treatment, and survivors from late effects. Here are some of the organizations we partner with:
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer (ALSF)
ALSF funds cancer research, raises awareness, and supports the families of children with cancer. Since 2012, Northwestern Mutual, its employees, and financial professionals like me have donated more than $20 million to support ALSF and fund over 400,000 research hours.
Beads of Courage
Beads of Courage is an art-in-medicine program that helps kids with cancer tell their unique treatment story through colorful beads that are symbols of their courage.
Professional
Andy joined Northwestern Mutual in September 2019 with over 24 years of broker/trader and corporate finance experience. He earned his BS from the Richard T. Farmer School of Business at Miami University in 1995. From there, he began a 20-year career with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, first as a pit clerk, then ascending to Lead Broker/Trader in the Equity Index Market overseeing transactions on behalf of numerous Fortune 500 Financial Institutions. During that time, Andy served as Pit Committee Vice Chairman and sat on many disciplinary hearings, while working toward earning his MBA from Loyola University. In 2015, Andy left the industry to enter Corporate Finance as a Senior Vice President at two auto finance firms.
Three years later, Andy was approached by his Northwestern Mutual advisor to join the firm he and his family trusted and relied on for two decades. After sitting on the client side of the table for 21 years, it was an opportunity to realize his passion to sit on the advisor side. Now, as a Financial Advisor, Andy is dedicated to helping others realize their personal, financial, and professional goals. Being able to tell clients he has “sat on their side of the table" is a powerful message and a testament to long relationship with Northwestern Mutual that Andy is very proud of. Andy has expertise in:

How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.
When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.
Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.
It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
