Javar B. Duckett

I graduated from Texas A&M University with a life science degree in agriculture & journalism. 

I transitioned into finance due to the fact of our pandemic in 2020. I witnessed the world come to a complete stop; I saw families and small business owners take a giant hit in their portfolios. 

There was my calling, seeking people who cared about their well-being and relationships with those they love and an act of service. 

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.
