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.

Developing Young Advisors
Internship Development Officer
The Northwestern Mutual Company offers one of the premier internship programs in the finance field with the goal of creating realistic opportunities and experiences for our interns. Annually, a group of talented individuals are selected to join the Northwestern family under the guidance of the Internship Development Officer and their local office at large. As interns, these individuals learn first hand experience and are actually able to build and manage their own practice.
Brandon Rossi proudly serves as the Internship Development Officer, or IDO, for the internship program, working closely with college recruiters and unit directors in their specific regions. Given Brandon Rossi's own background with the internship program at Northwestern, he has taken the challenge by storm. For Rossi, the program is crucial to developing bright young advisors, and he couldn't be prouder of their work over the last year.
Growth Development Director
Alongside Rossi's work as the IDO, he is the also the Growth Development Director (GDD) at the Northwestern Mutual Fort Worth office. As the GDD, he works to help new advisories develop their true potentials as fiscal professionals by acting as a colleague and a mentor to new recruits during their first years at the company. Like his stance on the internship program, Rossi believes hands-on interaction and mentorship early on is a key factor in establishing a strong foundation for their long careers at Northwestern Mutual.

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.
