Financial Representative|CLU®, ChFC®
Personal
Residing in LaGrange Park, I live with my wife Donna and our children Aidan and Brendan. I enjoy supporting the boys in their sports - swimming and water polo, and serving the community as an assistant scout master in the boy scouts. I enjoy reading, word puzzles, and playing piano. As a family, we enjoy bicycling, swimming, and taking our two dogs, Paulie and Ex, camping and to the woods.
Professional
After spending nearly 18 years in engineering consulting, project management, and client service, I found my real passion in the business world was in the one-on-one customer service and helping solve important technical and financial problems. I had always had a strong interest in financial markets and in the risk management services that I provided in my engineering work. As I felt I had been through many of the career opportunities available to me locally in the engineering field, I found myself more and more attracted to serving individuals in their personal financial needs. When one of my oldest college friends introduced me to a financial representative with Northwestern Mutual, and as I learned more of the company as a leader in their field, I felt compelled to take my career in a new direction, towards a more personal and individual service, built around helping families achieve their own goals for financial security.

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.

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.
