Landy Mattison

I was born in Raleigh, North Carolina, and raised primarily in Franklin, Tennessee. I grew up in a family of four. My younger brother served in the U.S. Army Cavalry and is now retired. My parents have been married for over 44 years and both worked in education before retiring before the age of 65. I earned my bachelor's degree from Clemson University where I also played soccer, served as team captain and the student-athlete advisory board.

I fulfilled a childhood dream by playing soccer professionally for four years across the USL and MLS. Today, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our puppy, visiting with my parents in Georgia, volunteering, working out, and following athletics.  

I'm passionate about travel and look forward to exploring new cultures and destinations. 

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.
