Daniel C Baker

I have worked alongside Founding Partner Dan Baker for nearly 20 years and am securities and insurance licensed. Prior to joining Northwestern Mutual in 2003, I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Finance from Texas A&M University in College Station. I have also completed the Certified Financial Planner coursework at Rice University.

I enjoy being a tourist in my hometown. Between trying new restaurants, parks, museums and chasing my two young children, I stay pretty busy. In my spare time, I volunteer at my children’s school and serve as the Treasurer for my condominium’s Home-Owner Association. I also love to travel internationally with my husband and have a newfound love for yoga.

I have worked in the financial services industry for some 20 years and am securities licensed. Prior to joining Northwestern Mutual in 2003, I practiced law in Los Angeles, California, at Morrison & Foerster and later in Lexington, Kentucky, at Wyatt, Tarrant and Combs. I’m a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Baylor University with a Bachelor of Arts in English and a Master of Arts in English Literature. I earned my law degree, a JD with High Honors, from the Dedman School of Law at SMU. 

My current focus is to introduce and connect clients and prospective clients to our growing team and to their capabilities to serve you.

One of my favorite things to do is to encourage people. I was Team Mom to more of our son’s baseball, football, basketball, and soccer teams than I can remember. I enjoy watching films and reading fiction, and I love to travel with my family every chance I get to places where history comes alive.
