Irving's core values are family, faith, and a strong work ethic.

Irving was born and raised in Brownsville, Texas. He moved to Austin when he attended St. Edward’s University where he graduated with a degree in Business Management. With his degree in hand, Irving started his financial planning practice with Northwestern Mutual in 2003. In his constant pursuit of excellence, he has also obtained the Certified Financial Planner™ certification (CFP ®), and the Retirement Income Certified Professional (RICP®). Today, Irving and his team are dedicated to helping their clients with the unique tax and financial planning needs that come along with being a business owner or a high net worth individual.

Irving and his wife/business partner, Crystal Herrington, have two beautiful children, Olivier and Stellen, and a sweet Boston Terrier named Cassie. In his free time, Irving enjoys spending time with his wife and their two children, spending time in nature, and growing new plants in his garden.

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.
