Meet Jamil "JP" Henderson

Personal

Driven by his personal experiences with financial insecurity, Jamil has always aspired to be a financial professional. Growing up he witnessed firsthand the challenges of economic hardship—his parents separated before he was old enough to remember, and while his father remained present, he was primarily raised by his single mother. At times, they even experienced periods of homelessness and food insecurity, relying on government assistance programs.

Ironically, it was these struggles that fueled his determination to help others not just manage their finances but build lasting wealth—abundantly and sustainably.

Determined to pursue a career in financial services, he applied to five colleges and was admitted into the business programs at four of them. However, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (U of I) was the only school that did not grant him direct admission into its College of Business—but it was also the only school to offer him a full-ride scholarship as an I-Promise recipient, a program awarded to students with the greatest financial need.

Faced with a choice, he enrolled at U of I with the goal of transferring into the College of Business after his freshman year by taking rigorous coursework to position himself for admission. When that path didn’t materialize he pivoted, ultimately earning a degree in Sport Management with a minor in Leadership Studies.

Professional

After graduating in 2016, he gained diverse experience in industries spanning from recreation, hospitality, and college advising before finally stepping into his true calling. In 2022, he joined Northwestern Mutual, where he was able to pursue his lifelong dream.

Jamil is a FINRA Series 6 registered financial professional, licensed in over 15 states including IL, CA, AZ and many more. He is expanding his practice nationwide to provide quality financial guidance.
