About me

Professional

Jude has been the CEO of his family's restaurants Mama Mia’s, started by his father Tony in 1954 and he grew the brands which are now recognizable in Wisconsin and Michigan. Over the years he sold the restaurants to independent operators. His wife Allison continues to run the frozen wholesale divisions. Being a business owner, Jude understands the needs of other business owners and corporations and their employees, an extremely unique quality in the financial services world.

Jude specializes in the design, funding, securing and administration of nonqualified deferred compensation plans and Bank Owned and Corporate Owned Life Insurance programs.

In order to provide the best insight and knowledge available, Jude works with a team of specialists from Northwestern Mutual to align with the specific needs of each client. Understanding that each client’s needs are unique, Jude provides a customized solution specific to each corporation or individual.

When clients already have an advising team in place, we often work collaboratively with them and leverage our networks to further build-out their team. Understanding what players are currently on the field helps us identify potential blind spots in their advisory team. We strive to build our client’s networks for their maximum benefit and create peace of mind.

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.
