David Richard DeYoung
Wealth Management Advisor
Professional
After 10 years as an engineer, I realized I enjoy working with people much more than technology. I wanted to establish a meaningful business and have a career that would make a real impact on people's lives.
Whether you are an established entrepreneur, a well-trained professional, or an ambitious up-and-comer, my team and I are excited to help you achieve your financial security.
Personal
As a Dad first, you will most likely see me running one of my three kids to their various sporting activities like volleyball, basketball and soccer... or on the sidelines cheering or coaching one of them!
I earned my pilot's license at 17 and have both instrument and commercial ratings. I have not actively flown for years, but would like to take it back up in the future.
I am an avid mountain biker and enjoy exploring the extensive trails of Galbraith mountain, right in beautiful Bellingham's backyard. My wife and kids (and our dog Wilson) enjoy several other outdoor activities such as wakeboarding, waterskiing, snow skiing, snowboarding, running, hiking... basically anything where we can explore the outdoors.
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.
