Personal

Nick was born and raised in Downers Grove, within walking distance of our office. He is a die-hard White Sox and Blackhawks fan who played both of those sports for many, many years and was fortunate enough to play collegiate baseball at the division 1 level at both the University of Missouri and Murray State University. He lives just minutes from our office in Lombard with his beautiful wife Courtney and their two pets, Moose, a 4 year old pit-bull, and Ducky, a 3 year old bearded dragon. In his free time, Nick enjoys spending time with his friends and family, working out, going to White Sox games and traveling the world. On top of that, he is currently studying for his CFP and ChFC designations. Nick and Courtney just got back from their honeymoon (finally) to Turks and Caicos in April and will be heading to Dubai and Abu Dhabi in December!

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.

Professional

Nick recently joined us here at Northwestern Mutual after graduating in May 2016 from Murray State University with a B.S in Finance and minoring in Spanish. While in college, Nick was a student-athlete for 5 years playing baseball at the division 1 level, splitting his time between the University of Missouri and his alma mater, Murray State University.

After graduation and much deliberation, Nick decided to commit to a long-term relationship with Northwestern Mutual. What drew Nick to Northwestern Mutual was the honesty and trusting nature around those who worked along side Nick. Also, the fact that Northwestern Mutual has been doing what is right for their clients for many, many years made the choice a no brainer.

Back in the summer of 2019, Nick was elevated to the role of College Unit Director in our Downers Grove Office. He enjoys running the internship as it allows him to mentor, coach, and guide college financial advisors through each step in the planning process. He can't wait to see what the future holds for every single one of his current and former interns!

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.
