Learn About Kevin
Kevin is your classic story of a small-town kid working to help others. If you've met him, you know there's an earnestness about him. The honesty, hard work, and persistence valued by his clients come from his parents. He and his dad work together as a hobby, running the farm his grandparents lived on.
Most professionals are known for taking their work home with them. While Kevin is no different in this case, he does bring his home to work with him―he approaches planning with the mindset, "is this what I would tell my family to do?" Because if there is anything he has learned throughout his career working with farm and business owners, it's the entire family is involved.
Kevin graduated from the University of Iowa and has been representing Northwestern Mutual as an advisor since 2009. He lives in Marengo with his wife, Ellen.
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.
