Get To Know Me
I am Shaun V. Washington, and I am proud to be a financial representative with Northwestern Mutual at the Sugarloaf branch here in Duluth, GA. With over 14 years of experience working with various federal agencies, I have gained a wealth of knowledge that I bring to my current role. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Economics from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and completed my MBA at DePaul University's Driehaus College of Business.
I got into this business with a clear goal in mind: to help families in my community and beyond. My mission is to prepare families so that when the unexpected happens, their financial futures remain secure. What I find most rewarding about this career path is guiding people towards their goals and developing practical plans to help them achieve those goals.
Outside of work, I am actively involved in my community. I also enjoy coaching, participating in community service, weightlifting, and spending quality time with my wife and our two children.
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.
