Turning Dreams into Reality

My team and I aim to support your personal and business planning so that you can focus on your superpowers to make this world a better place.
Vadim was born in Ukraine and raised in LA before he attended university in Boston and served in the Navy in DC and Norfolk, VA. He's always had a spirit of service and adventure. Realizing that a long-term military career was not for him, Vadim leaned into the service that fueled his spirit, serving the community with financial education and mindset coaching.
Financial planning is one of his love languages... having grown up financially poor but wealthy in love, Vadim committed to being wealthy in both money and love. He learned about money mostly on his own and realized how most people are in a constant state of surviving instead of thriving with their money.
That led him to lead the financial education program at three different Navy commands, after which Vadim then led investor relations for a private equity real estate investing firm. While that provided him a wealth of experience, he longed for the impact of helping community leaders and business owners create short- and long-term financial health and success. When the lifeblood of our communities thrive financially, so do the communities.
Vadim is based in DC and can often be found on the move, locally and internationally, whether on two feet, in a plane, or on a motorcycle.

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.
