Personal

I am a native St. Louisan and treasure my family, friends, and our city. My husband Steve Scheipeter and I have 4 children; Mike, Maddi, Charlie and Will. We enjoy kayaking, running, biking, backpacking, skiing, golf, gardening, hiking, fishing and everything else that keeps us outdoors. 

We are active in our church and the community. We enjoy card games with friends, trivia nights, attending St. Louis Cardinals games, St. Louis Blues games, and our children's events and games. 

Mike is recently married to Michaela and works for a Chicago based logistics company. He lives in south city and is pursuing his Masters degree in Business at Maryville.  He coaches 7 & 8th graders for Lou Fusz lacrosse. Maddi lives in Kansas City with her English bulldog George and coaches lacrosse at her alma mater Rockhurst University.  She helps her clients improve their wellbeing, health and fitness. Charlie recently graduated from Spring Hill College and is starting his career in Financial Services!  He plays golf and hockey.  Will is finishing his last semester at St Louis University in pursuit of his Public Health degree. He enjoys playing golf, baseball and hockey.

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.

Professional

I am dedicated to building lifetime relationships with private investors, business owners, and business executives. These relationships are rooted in providing value to clients by helping identify needs and solutions aimed at achieving financial goals. I also believe in helping clients identify and secure their desired life outcomes by regularly assessing their progress towards their desires and dreams.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Investments from Lindenwood University in 1986 at the age of 20. I went on to receive my Master of Business Administration in Finance from Saint Louis University in 1990. I worked in the investment industry for 10 years before joining Northwestern Mutual in 1998.

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.
