Personal
Stephen Hoell is a lifelong resident of central Missouri, having grown up with loving parents who run a small business in town. Stephen was very active in sports all his life and played collegiate soccer at Westminster College, where he received his undergraduate degree. He then went on to pursue his Masters in Education at the University of Missouri with an emphasis in career counseling and development. It was during his time at Westminster that Stephen met his wife, Lillian. Together they have a son, Grayson, who is 12 years old and a daughter, Neha, who is 4 years old.
Stephen and Lillian give of their time to areas they feel benefit from their unique skills and personalities which range from holding leadership positions with a local Scout Pack to coaching youth through Sporting Columbia to volunteering with LOVE Columbia. Stephen and his family are active members of the First Baptist Church in Columbia which is an affirming and welcoming faith community. Stephen also enjoys walking, running and biking trails throughout Columbia, spending time with family and friends, playing worship music with others, a strong cup of coffee, and listening to podcasts or books.

Lending a hand in my community.
Stephen is involved in his community in a variety of ways. Over the years, the way he has served has evolved. 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.
