Joseph Johnsick
Investment Operations Associate
With more than a decade in the industry, Joe has expertise in several areas of the business, including financial planning and investment management.
Joe joined Fidelity as a financial representative a couple years after graduating high school. In 2016, with the goal of building more personal client relationships, he joined a Northwestern Mutual practice as an Associate Financial Advisor. Since then, he has grown and developed his role within Northwestern Mutual, joining our team as an Associate Wealth Management Advisor in 2024.
Joe was born and raised in New Hampshire and lives in Hampton, Virginia, with his fiancé Sara. He has a son named Oliver, a soon-to-be stepdaughter, Kiely, and a crazy-but-lovable dog, Nala. On the weekends, Joe and Sara enjoy hosting their friends or spending a quiet night in, and when they do go out, they’re usually exploring a new brewery. They also bike to the water nearly every day with Kiely, taking advantage of their three-block trek to the ocean.
Network of Specialists
Through Northwestern Mutual, I have access to a Network of Specialists. We help each other, share ideas and common values, and leverage each other's talents to help you achieve your personal dream of financial security.

CEO, Partner and Private Wealth Advisor
Success for me is giving my life away into relationships of purpose. It is a privilege to serve people who want to find clarity and confidence when the world seems to only offer challenges. Since 2002, I have gained wisdom by walking alongside successful people and partnering with them to align their financial resources and future capacities with the people they love and the purpose they have.

John M White
Financial Advisor
When I began my career, I quickly learned it is imperative to have a tangible vision to formulate a strategy for success. We provide our clients with the insight, objectives, and methods necessary to pinpoint their visions and propel their futures forward. Working almost exclusively with business owners, my philosophy is to help each entrepreneur execute beyond what they believe is possible.
