Personal
Andrew was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. Following high school, he moved to Colorado Springs, where he graduated from The Colorado College with a B.A. in International Political Science and Economics.
Outside of the office, he rushes home to be with his wife Annie, son Alex, and daughter Hattie. You’ll find them as a family most often out of doors, at a bike race, skiing, or playing at the park with their Golden Retriever, Modoc.
Professional
Andrew was introduced to Northwestern Mutual in 2009 through his father-in-law, one of Northwestern Mutual's top all-time producers, Gaylord Davis. Working with such a tremendous mentor, Andrew became a top producer in the region within his first year in the business. Andrew's focus is to "Connect and Lift" within the community. In addition to lifting clients through the education and planning for their financial security, Andrew helps clients move forward in other areas of life by sharing his vast professional network as a way to connect with other members of the community.
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.
Children's Cancer Association
The Children’s Cancer Association didn’t start with a foundation, it started with a family. One who faced its own battle with serious pediatric illness almost two decades ago in Portland, Oregon. From that experience came a passionate commitment and focus: To deliver the resources, the friendship and the healing power of music to families facing the same challenges. Unlike many organizations dedicated to the worthy goal of someday finding a cure for cancer, CCA is all about today. We specialize on the moment, delivering immediate help to kids and teens facing life-threatening illness. We long for the day when there’s a cure for cancer; but until that day arrives, we’re there for kids facing the biggest battle of their lives who need our help, today.

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.
