Chris is first and foremost a husband and father to his wife Jessica and son Theodore. They live in the Waukesha County Area with their dog Milly, a 50lb mini-bulldog.
He is a military member and has been since 2012 and completed a deployment to Afghanistan from 2018-2020.
He has worked with Northwestern Mutual since 2017 and is now a Financial Advisor and Growth and Development Director searching for new talent to bring into this awesome career. We is particularly proud of his team and the quick service they provide. They are very passionate about all things finance but are particularly passionate about Juvenile Life Insurance policies which is a result after Chris' cousin passed away when she was 12 years old from brain cancer.
We specialize in helping the Medical and Military Professions.
Lending a hand in my community.
Community service is an active part of our team's personal and professional life's. Not only do we participate in charity work inside of Northwestern Mutual by benefiting Alex's Lemonade Stand, but we additionally contribute to several other organizations as seen below:
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.

Adopt A Highway
Adopt-A-Highway helps: - Reduce litter along Wisconsin's highways - Build statewide support for the anti-litter and highway beautification programs - Educate the traveling public to properly dispose of litter - Enhance the environment and beautify Wisconsin's roadsides

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.
