Kirk Bradford Stiewel
Wealth Management Advisor
Personal
I was born and raised in Southern California and have lived in the North County San Diego area for over 15 years. However I work nationally and enjoy working with clients across different industries around this great country.
Financial security can be difficult to obtain and complicated to define, but with a vision and discipline, financial security can be realized. For those reasons I enjoy my profession immensely and the ability to help my friends & clients achieve their definition of Financial Security.
Continuing education is unrelenting for me. I hold the top investment advisory and insurance licenses and fight to keep my practice updated with all Financial Services Industry changes. Also reserving the responsibility of a Fiduciary, the highest standard of care, is the standard of care for my practice.
In my free time I enjoy playing various sports but especially frequenting San Diego's great collection of golf courses. I didn't say playing well at our golf courses, just frequenting them!
Thank you for a taking a moment to read this. I'd love to help your family or business.

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 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.
