My Professional Journey and Values
I started in this industry in 1998 as a new dad and husband at Morgan Stanley. By my side through everything has been my high school sweetheart, Melissa, my wife of over 25 years who I'm pictured with at our Renewal of Vows in 2023. I began my journey with Northwestern Mutual as an intern in 2004, and in 2024 I celebrated 20 years! As the Managing Director of NM Princeton, I have brought on my daughter, Kaitlin May, to my team as Director of Operations.
As Managing Director of NM Princeton, I'm committed to fostering a diverse team of passionate professionals who share our mission. Coaching advisors is not just part of my job; it's a privilege and a highlight of my daily routine. Together, we aim to expand our outreach and better represent the communities we serve, making financial education accessible for individuals, families, and business owners alike.
After working for more than two decades in the financial services industry, I have found a company that shares my core values and beliefs. Northwestern Mutual is that company. Your financial future deserves attention—let's work together toward your goals with dedication and expertise.
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.
