Professional

Dennis began his career with Northwestern Mutual in April of 2008 after going through the Planning Process as a client in 2007 and becoming a client.  Prior to this career, Dennis and his father owned a sales and marketing firm that focused on organic gardening and irrigation. 

In 2004, he pursued a career change to the Financial Services industry and worked for an independent broker dealer servicing institutional and proprietary day trading firms  As was mentioned previously, though, after going through the client experience with Northwestern Mutual, Dennis wanted to share the impact of what he experienced with others and joined Northwestern Mutual to help others develop a plan to acquire and sustain financial security.

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.

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.
