About Me

Hello everyone! I am Seth Flemmer. I grew up in small-town South Dakota on an acreage in the country. The way that I grew up, I had no choice but to be passionate about History, Sports, Travel, Culture and Helping Others Succeed.

In my first career, I taught Middle School and High School History. My background was in United States History, and I specialized content-wise in US Financial History. Aside from my content, I am passionate about helping others. As a teacher, I loved to work with others to provide education in a way that is comfortable for each person. I even traveled to Europe to tutor refugee teenagers from across the world in their studies, as they were striving for an education equivalent to a US high school diploma. 

When I was growing up, my father was an elected Judge in South Dakota for 27 years. I spent a ton of time traveling with him to judges' conferences all over the US, strategically planned around baseball stadiums we had not attended yet and seeing the legal world while visiting my father at the courthouse after school. My mom was a schoolteacher and worked part-time jobs while taking care of me. I was lucky enough to travel not just the US, but around the world with my parents while soaking up every experience along the way. 

My background as an educator, experiencing the professional world through the values of my father, experiencing the cultures of the world and my mother raising me to put others ahead of myself have all created my drive to help others succeed. 

By working with me, you will quickly learn my passion for making finance easy to understand and my genuine care for each of my clients as we work together to accomplish your life goals. 

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.

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.
