After graduating from the University of New Hampshire in 2006, I began my career with Northwestern Mutual. Since then, I've found it to be extremely rewarding and can't picture myself doing anything else. Helping my clients and their families achieve their dreams is, by far, the best part of my work. My mission is to be the catalyst in helping you recognize your vision, prioritize your goals, then develop and help you to execute your total financial plan. I also feel very fortunate to be a member of our firm's leadership team since 2009 where I have a chance to help young professionals develop into successful leaders in our organization. Our goal is to be recognized by our community as the premier resource and partner for financial security planning.

Director of Development

Chase Buckman

Growth and Development Director

My life experience drives my professional passion. While studying retirement strategies in a personal finance class in college, I reached out to my mom to understand how these concepts were practically applied. What I discovered changed everything. My parents, then in their mid-50s, had minimal retirement savings despite their incredible work ethic. The realization that my dad might never be able to stop working hit me hard and highlighted a clear need for greater support. I know there are countless families out there just like mine. I often reflect on how different things might have been for my parents if they'd had a trusted advisor to guide them on their financial journey. It's my mission to bridge this gap, combining empathy with expertise to create practical, achievable financial plans. Fostering long-term relationships requires both technical expertise and genuine investment in their success. I measure my impact through my clients' achievements and progress towards their goals.

I started my career as a Campus Recruiter with Northwestern Mutual, bringing students into our organizations top ranked internship program. From there I took a hiatus and went into IT Staffing where I mastered the ability to seek out talent that would excel in the various roles. While I loved the role I was in, the universe always has a plan, and it brought my back to Northwestern Mutual where I am currently a Recruiter. I hire Advisors for our Northern New England Territory which includes New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont and Northern Massachusetts. My core belief is that life is all about making connections, and I feel grateful that my job allows me to do that every single day. I spend most of my time speaking with talented people from a variety of industries who are looking for more autonomy, financial freedom, and a career that makes an impact. I introduce them to this opportunity where they can join a diverse and inclusive team that values collaboration, innovation, and growth.

My father is a college wrestling coach at Wesleyan University and my mother is a physical education teacher in East Haven, CT. I also have a little sister who is playing lacrosse at Endicott College. I currently reside in Reading, MA with my beautiful girlfriend Ally and our new kitten named Belly.I always grew up around athletics which taught me hard work, dedication, and accountability from a young age. This led me to playing lacrosse at Merrimack College where I was a team captain and helped lead my team to two NCAA National Championships in 2018 & 2019. I have brought this championship mindset with me into my professional career, striving to make sure all my clients are a part of a winning culture and raise the trophy of success at the end of their careers.

Andrew Wasilefsky

Financial Advisor

Family is what life is truly about. My goal is to create financial security for my family as well. Time is our most important asset, the more freedom we can achieve, the more memories you can make alongside the ones you love. I became a financial advisor to help others wake up well-positioned, both financially & personally. Today in America, there is a lack of financial education, which creates a lack of confidence and action behind decisions with money. I want to flip that narrative, providing solutions and education behind financial wellness. When we have time off, life consists of days at the lake with our family, golfing with friends, or traveling to new areas for us to see the world! Life is about building memories, if we can create less stress & more freedom to spend time with the people you love, then we have developed a great plan!
