Personal
My wealth management practice has allowed me the luxury to spend time being a proud father of five adult women, grandfather to 12 great grandchildren, being married to a nurturing and loving wife, and spending 40 years working and helping great people achieve a level of financial success.
This past July had my extended family coming together for a week of fellowship and fun. It was our third trip in six years to a home called Knockwood on Norwegian Bay located on Green Lake Wisconsin. We experienced great weather which allowed us to enjoy all of the many outdoor activities. New this year was paddle boarding and swimming to and from a new water pad. Talent night was won by five of the grandchildren performing a human pyramid. Mary and I were so blessed that our children and their families choose to spend their vacation time with us.
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.
