Personal
Robert grew up in Moon Township, just outside of Pittsburgh PA. His passions include helping others, staying close with family, and supporting his wife, Coryn Brown as they build their own family. His wife Coryn runs her own business as well. She is an online fitness coach, and their support for one another is immense.
Robert and Coryn currently reside in Oakdale Pennsylvania, which is a location that allows them to stay close to Robert's office(s), and to also remain close to family.
Robert enjoys vacationing with his wife and family, golfing, playing poker, and being involved in the community through helping with various charity events.
Robert feels his purpose in life is to give back to those who have helped him along his path to success, build and support his family, and help clients reach their financial goals. For that, he feels that being a Financial Advisor is the role he was born to do.
Lending a hand in my community.
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:
Neighborhood Academy
It was a real pleasure having the opportunity to speak to the senior class of The Neighborhood Academy, a private college preparation school here in Pittsburgh that focuses on character development alongside academics to carry on good character beyond the classroom. I shared my story about previous struggles in life and how going to college gave me the skills and motivation to turn my life around.
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.
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer (ALSF)
We take any opportunity to help raise money for Alex’s Lemonade Stand. This year we participated in the Lemon Top Challenge by balancing a lemon on our heads and posting a picture on social media. Every photo posted with #LemonTopChallenge generated a $10 donation from Northwestern Mutual to ALSF.
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.
Professional
Robert Brown started his wealth management firm, partnered with Northwestern Mutual in 2017. He envisioned a firm where the primary focus is helping others and building long-term relationships.
Since starting his firm, Robert has also taken on the role of Growth and Development Director. Robert directly mentors a team of advisors and has been helping them to build their practices while coaching and developing them along the way.
Robert views himself as a straight shooter- he does not want to pretend to be someone he is not. With that, he is very passionate about his career and always keeps his clients' best interest as his top priority. Robert would never suggest his clients to do something that he wouldn't do if he were in their situation.
Robert and his team deliver a top-notch client experience, and they take pride in knowing each client gets a plan specifically tailored to their goals and objectives. Most importantly, clients are more than just clients. They become our friends. Once a plan is put in place, the work doesn't stop there. Robert meets with his clients at least twice per year to ensure he is keeping up with them on their road to financial security.
Robert's firm continues to grow exponentially, bringing on an average of 70 new clients each year.

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.
