Meet Jonathon
I am a lifelong resident of Rapid City, South Dakota, I pursued my education in Business Management and Marketing at Western Dakota Technical Institute. Following college, I spent nearly a decade in the automotive industry, I realized a need for a career that aligned more closely with my desire to positively impact people's lives. This realization led me to join Northwestern Mutual.
Throughout my years in client-focused roles, I have gained valuable insights into human behavior. Despite the diverse nature of individuals, one constant remains: everyone seeks relationships built on trust and reliability. This understanding fuels my commitment to being a dependable and trustworthy resource for my clients. I earn a great satisfaction from educating clients and witnessing their achievements, whether they are personal, professional, or financial.
My life goal, both professionally and personally, is to leave a positive impact on the lives of others. I strive to be the person whom others feel comfortable reaching out to, knowing that I am eager to assist them with their needs.
The Stierwalt's
My wife, Sydney, is the owner/operator of a nail salon here in Rapid City. Syd and I are high school sweethearts, having been together since 2011. We have a 2-year-old son Jackson who keeps us on our toes at all times. It is amazing the things you can learn about life from a toddler. He is the reason we get out of bed every day and strive to provide him the life he deserves. Watching him grow has been life's greatest blessing. We also have three dogs, Bean, Jabba and Bo. No home is complete without a dog, so we got three.
Outside of our careers, we both enjoy spending time outdoors, especially around a body of water. We have a big rivalry when it comes to board games in the house, it's about the only time we don't want what's best for one another. My wife tolerates my sports obsession, whether playing or watching, sports are impossible to escape in our home.
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.
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.
