Mackenzie Hall
Associate Financial Representative
Mack is a highly accomplished professional who graduated from Santa Clara University in 2022 after studies in both Economics and Communications. Throughout his college years, he not only excelled academically but also showcased his leadership skills as a representative of his university on the rugby pitch.
With a strong commitment to family values, after college Mack moved back to the Chicagoland area, where he could be closer to his loved ones. It was during this time that he joined Northwestern Mutual, specifically the Skokie office, as a member of the Goris Network.
At Northwestern Mutual, Mack has established himself as a dedicated and detail-oriented individual who works closely with Brad on all facets of their practice. Together, they collaborate and excel to provide clients with unparalleled service and commitment.
Personal
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
As a representative in financial industry for 31 years, I have had the opportunity to see and be a part of all the facets of needs analysis that I provide.
I have experienced helping a new widow, witnessed clients endure disabilities, and had the fortunate experience of helping my clients ensure their children will be able to attend college. Assisting individuals and businesses with dedication and experience are a part of my family legacy. My father, Ira, who recently passed had been a Northwestern Mutual Financial Advisor for 70 years, serving his clients the same way!

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.
