About me
A native of Southern California, Micah grew up heavily engaged in athletics as a sprinter and football player. His sports background coupled with his astute efforts in academics allowed him to gain acceptance to 6 out of 8 Ivy League institutions in addition to a multitude of “Power – 5” colleges. Upon graduation, Micah attended Dartmouth College where he earned his Bachelor’s in Political Economics within 3 years. He then went on to earn his Master's Degree at USC where he also played underneath Head Coach Lincoln Riley, a Top 5 nationally ranked team in 2022.
Despite his former accomplishments, Croom came from humble beginnings where he observed early on the ramifications behind communities and families overlooking the value of financial literacy and having a strategic plan in place. A collection of these experiences as well as his yearn to see a different outcome for others is what drives his passion to serve people as well families across the country.
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.
