Meet Creighton
Creighton Hardy is a graduate of Grand Canyon University. Creighton threads his passion for financial literacy and freedom with his degree in Psychology & Business Management into a Financial Planning practice that truly seeks to understand his clients’ goals, dreams and own passions. With a deep understanding of his clients’ “why” and motivation for financial planning, he is able to build an unparalleled level of trust and communication.
Creighton believes trust is often over promised, and underdelivered. He aims to build a high level of trust that fosters meaningful dialogue – where he and his clients are willing to challenge themselves to think bigger and out of their respective comfort zones. This is where he finds the most meaningful success with clients. With this as the foundation, Creighton is able to meticulously tailor a comprehensive financial plan for each of his clients to help them achieve the life they choose.
Additionally, Creighton is proud to work with a national network comprised of some of the best advisors Northwestern Mutual has to offer.

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.
Personal
Creighton was born and raised in Woodstock, GA. He moved to Phoenix, AZ to attend Grand Canyon University and study Psychology & Business Management. While in college, he discovered Northwestern Mutual through the college internship program. During his internship, he experienced first-hand the importance of not putting off financial planning and decided to commit full-time to his clients to ensure others did not experience the same loss he witnessed with a close friend. This passion for financial literacy drives his financial planning and his commitment to the greater community today.
Creighton is involved with the Arizona Foundation for Women (AFW) and support AFW in their mission to advance the status of Arizona's women through research. He currently serves as the Co-Chair of their Professional Advisors Committee (PAC). The PAC serves AFW by providing professional guidance to the non-profit and their donors through nuances of charitable gifting.
Outside of the office, you can find Creighton and Danielle enjoying the outdoors, riding their bikes, or most likely, at the dog park with Wilbur – their beloved fur baby.
