Personal
Jerome grew up in the greater Milwaukee area, and attended school in Greendale. Several years after high school, he reconnected with his childhood best friend, Brigette and later, they married. Thursdays have a huge significance in their lives. Date night, their wedding date, and the birth of their son Jason happened on a Thursday. Jerome and Brigette are active in their home community in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, and have 2 children, Brittany and Jason.
Jerome loves spending time with friends and family. Quarterly, they host movie and game night at their home. Jerome and Brigette have earned the “foodie badge of honor.” They visit one new restaurant a month, and especially love trying new Mexican restaurants. He’s a true fan of all Wisconsin sports teams. He’s slowly working on converting his wife Brigette from a Cowboys fan (yes, it’s a struggle), and has a big spot in his heart for the Special Olympics.
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.
Beads of Courage
Beads of Courage is an art-in-medicine program that helps kids with cancer tell their unique treatment story through colorful beads that are symbols of their courage.
Professional
For the first 11 years of his professional career he worked in senior retail management, including Best Buy and Finishline. During that time, Jerome discovered that he enjoyed working with his staff as a mentor and trainer, as well as helping others reach personal goals, whether it was to have the home theatre of their dreams or the best performance shoes and apparel that would help them rise to new athletic heights.
In working with his Northwestern Mutual Financial Advisor and now mentor, he found that he wanted to impact people in a larger capacity. Jerome decided to join Northwestern Mutual to help professionals, established families, and small business owners in reaching their personal, financial, and professional goals and dreams. He enjoys working with clients from all backgrounds, and loves seeing them move towards having their financial dreams come true.

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.
