Chris Barksdale

With 23 years of marriage and raising four children, Chris' journey has been filled with diverse experiences and valuable life lessons. From Mobile, Alabama to Hollywood, California, and now Indianapolis, Indiana, his family has embraced the adventure of living in different places and immersing themselves in different cultures. Each location has brought its own unique set of challenges and opportunities, shaping them as individuals and as a family. Through these experiences, they have learned the importance of adaptability, resilience, and open-mindedness. They have grown closer as a family, supporting and encouraging each other through various transitions.

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.
