Meet Dalton

I am from Cold Spring, MN where I grew up my entire childhood with my parents and brother Carter. My family has been a huge support system for me and they continue to show their support in everything that I do. With growing up in a small town, I have developed many relationships and friendships that will last a lifetime. After graduating high school, I then pursued both my academic and athletic career at Gustavus Adolphus college in St Peter, MN.

Being involved in sports has always been something I have been passionate about. Being apart of teams my entire life has shaped me into the person that I am today. On those various teams I have developed a broad range of skills which include: building meaningful relationships, communication, teamwork, and courage.

As a former teacher and current Gustavus football coach, I continue want to make positive differences to everyone that I get connected with. I find a true joy impacting the lives of individuals and families. I want to help my current and future clients prosper and strive in all financial situations.

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.
