They understand the complexities of the changing financial climate and will make recommendations in your best interest.

The Chartered Life Underwriter^® is the premier designation for insurance professionals.

The Chartered Financial Consultant^® program provides the most
current and comprehensive financial planning education by combining the key financial planning fundamentals, with practical applications to put those theories to work. With content in the curriculum encompassing the essentials of financial planning -  including insurance, taxation, retirement, and estate planning - it also addresses advanced areas such as behavioral finance, non-traditional family structures, and small business planning. 

Mark Holder was born and raised in Chillicothe, Missouri in a family with four boys. His mother was a school teacher and his father worked for the state of Missouri. After leaving Chillicothe, Mark went to Northwest Missouri State where he received his bachelor of science in finance and economics.

Mark is married to Leslie and they are the proud parents of daughters, Anna and Lilah. The family lives in Leawood, Kansas.

In Mark's free time, he enjoys spending time with his family and friends, traveling, and all things sports—specifically golf, football, and baseball.

Mark and his family are active members of Christ Community Church.

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.
