Tyler K. West

Based out of Saint Louis, I began my career with NM in 2020. Through the years I've found a lot of pride in growing a practice with grow values at the forefront. Hard-work, personal responsibility and integrity guide myself and my team as we look to make an impact on clients. We help out clients through detail oriented planning and understanding goals. We will build financial security together!

I have a Bachelor's degree with a double minor in both Sociology and Interpersonal Relations. After graduating from Ball State University, I completed a year of AmeriCorps service in Philadelphia, PA. The time I spent with the AmeriCorps program provided me with invaluable experience, as well as a deeper understanding of what it means to serve one's community. Equipped with these new skills, I continued my work career in mostly social work-related organizations before being referred to Northwestern Mutual. I enjoy working with my team and our clients to create road maps to achieve their financial dreams, and thus securing what is most important to them; protection for their family, businesses, and intergenerational growth. 

I grew up in Belleville, IL and now live in St. Louis. I have two mischievous cats, named Arnie and Daffy, who enjoy reeking adorable havoc around our home. I enjoy reading, cooking, and practically any show airing on TLC, and also love doing tricks with hula hoops.

Paul joined Northwestern Mutual in 2020 as a Financial Planning Associate for the Clayton Network Office. In this role he worked with advisors to help them craft comprehensive financial plans and execute their investment recommendations. Paul was then promoted to Network Office Investment Operations Manager where he consulted advisors and their teams on how to run a compliant and efficient investment practice. He joined Tyler's team in January of 2025 and is excited to use his experience to help clients reach their financial goals. Paul has a BS in Finance with a Minor in Economics from Webster University and holds FINRA Series 7, 9/10, and 63 licenses. When he's not at work, he enjoys spending time with his girlfriend Julie, running, biking, cooking, and working toward his goal of visiting all the National Parks in the United States.
