Meet Makaeli
I grew up on the back of a horse. From working cattle on my family's New Mexico ranch to competing collegiately for the Kansas State University Rodeo Team. I have always had a passion for agriculture and serving others.
Today, I serve clients from all backgrounds and aspirations by assisting in planning for life's unexpected moments and protecting the families and entities they worked so hard to build.
My Mission:
To empower individuals, families, and business owners to achieve their dream lives by aligning financial strategies with their unique aspirations. I am dedicated to providing personalized guidance, expert advice, and innovative solutions that inspire confidence, build wealth, and create lasting financial freedom. By combining a deep understanding of personal finance with tailored business planning, I help my clients turn their goals into actionable plans, enabling them to live with purpose, security, and fulfillment - personally, professionally, and financially.
Lending a Hand in my Community.
Community
Building relationships and fostering connections is important to me, which is why I value community involvement. Supporting local organizations provides an opportunity to give back in ways that create meaningful impact and strengthen bonds.
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.
Horses for Healing
Horses For Healing, Inc., a 501(c)3 was established in 2013 with the goal of using horses as therapy partners to help humans resolve challenges related to PTSD, depression, anxiety, and other trauma related issues. Horses For Healing is a clinical program that utilizes licensed therapists to facilitate the therapeutic work.
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.
