He then transferred to Florida State University to complete his degree in History before settling down in Tallahassee.

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.
Professional
After a successful college internship with Northwestern Mutual and a thriving financial representative career for two years, he worked with R. Scott Vedder of the Vedder Group as the Director of Financial Planning until December of 2015. Since then, Joshua has managed his own comprehensive planning practice, specializing in planning for physicians and other professionals.
My Goal
My goal is to help my clients build and execute a life long financial plan that grows organically with them. My team's first priority is to learn what is truly important to you, your family or business. Once we have a clear understanding of your priorities, we will work with you to establish a step by step road map to help you meet your goals by reviewing and updating our strategies regularly.
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.
