Seth J Pals
Financial Advisor
Seth is originally from Creston, IA and graduated from the University of Iowa with a BBA in Management in May 2014. Seth started at Northwestern Mutual as an intern in May 2013 and converted to full-time in June 2014. Seth became a member of LEAD in July 2014 and is currently a Growth Development Director in the Cedar Rapids office. Seth was the #1 Intern in 2014 out of roughly 3,000 interns.
Katie Parpart
Associate Financial Representative
Katie joined Seth’s team in December 2022. Within her role she supports clients throughout the process of obtaining life or disability insurance. She works as a liaison between the client and underwriters, answering any questions you might have, and helps keep the ball rolling from the time a client completes an application until their policy is in their hands.
Before joining Northwestern Mutual, Katie enjoyed four wonderful, crazy, exhausting years as a stay-at-home mom to her two boys. Previously, she spent eight years in the employment industry recruiting, interviewing, hiring, and managing anywhere from 50 – 100 employees.
In Katie's spare time, you can find her in the garden or canning its yield, reading (she has yet to find a Fredrik Backman book she don’t love), trying Pinterest recipes, taking too many pictures of her boys, fishing, and attending a couple of concerts or ballgames every year with her husband.
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.
