Personal
Brian joined Northwestern Mutual in 2012 after following a successful career as a golf professional at Medinah Country Club. After spending so much time around a sport he loved realized that he wanted to make a bigger impact in my community. After much time searching he found a home at Northwestern Mutual. It gives him the ability to make a positive difference in his community while having the ability to spend more time with his family.
Brian and his wife Candice reside in Glen Ellyn with their daughters, Hannah & Kaitlyn. He enjoys golf, music, and spending time with family and friends.
Brian is also a die hard Chicago sports fan. Cubs, Bears, Blackhawks and Bulls. He loves following his hometown teams.
When Brian and Candice need a break they love to explore and travel. Mostly covering all areas of the United States now, but with future sights on Europe in the coming years.
When time allows Brian also enjoys volunteering within the community. Currently he makes periodic trips over to the Ronald McDonald House in Winfield to make dinner with his fellow colleagues and his family for the guests of the house.
Brian has also been a part of the firm’s golf outing Committee. The golf event and dinner support the Alex’s Lemonade Stand. This past year the event raised $170,000.

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.

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.
