Emanuel Ayo Coleman

Hailing from Pennsylvania, Wes attended Case Western University to study finance. He began his journey with Northwestern Mutual in 2016 and has been ambitiously climbing the ladder since, achieving his CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Professional certification, CLU®, and ChFC®. Joining forces with Ayo, they have formed a complementary partnership as Wes specializes in complex financial and investment planning. While managing our growing team and mentoring new advisors, Wes is able to fulfill his passion for guiding and pushing others to excel.

Wes and his wife, Carley, enjoy spending quality time with one another and their French Bulldog, Paul. In 2021, Wes was able to combine two of his aspirations—traveling and food—while in Denmark by visiting Noma, the Best Restaurant of the year. If Wes isn’t working, he is most likely to be found at a golf course with his friends and co-workers, or dedicating time to further his education.

Josh graduated from Baldwin Wallace in 2020 with a bachelor’s degree in Finance. Joining Northwestern Mutual as an intern in 2020, he quickly found his purpose by helping others through financial planning. Working primarily with individuals and families with fast-paced lifestyles, he strives to guide them to achieve financial independence through designed planning. He is grateful for finding Wes and Ayo, who share the same passion and vision that he does. Also acting as a college mentor, he welcomes and guides interns that come and go through the program. Josh is very passionate about this role as he hopes to change the lives of young professionals.

Josh spends most of his spare time with his wife, Ana, and their Goldendoodle, Duke. Traveling and taking Duke on walks around Downtown are some of their favorite past times. If he isn’t at the office, you can typically find him on a golf course (searching for his golf ball), or at home reading a good book.

Adam grew up in the West Park area of Cleveland and began his career with Northwestern Mutual while a senior at John Carroll University.  Adam is a lifelong learner and holds 6 professional certifications/ designations including the CFP® professional certification.  Being Series 7 registered gives him the ability to work with his clients utilizing a wide variety of investment solutions when needed.  Bringing 30 years of knowledge and experience to the firm, he is an extremely valuable member of our team. Adam encourages the team to help improve our lives and those of our clients each day by taking the time to truly listen and never settling.  

Adam and his wife, Carrie, have been married for 26 years and have 3 grown daughters, Molly, Madelyn and Grace. His greatest joy in life are his “girls” and how they inspire him to stay young and work to be the very best version of himself.

Rachael was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania before she moved to Cleveland to attend John Carroll University. She graduated in 2021 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Early Childhood Education. Her passion for helping others succeed drew her to Coleman Trillow and Associates. She has the role of Insurance Coordinator, helping clients with all their insurance needs, while ensuring they are provided with the best possible experience.

After work, Rachael can be found reading, painting, and taking road trips with her friends. She also is constantly working on her garden and spending time with the people, and pets, that she cares about the most. Being an avid Steelers fan, she loves to "stir the pot" with the many Browns fans in the office.

Austin has continued to grow his education and has obtained his SIE, Series 63, and Series 7.
