“Be enthusiastic everyday.” Those words were spoken by the late Jim Valvano at the ESPY’s, you’ve probably seen the speech but if you haven’t I strongly encourage looking it up.

“Be enthusiastic everyday.” Those words were spoken by the late Jim Valvano at the ESPY’s, you’ve probably seen the speech but if you haven’t I strongly encourage looking it up. That’s how I strive to live my life personally and professionally. I embarked on a career with Northwestern Mutual to make a genuine impact on the people and families in my community. Professionally, I have taken a road not often traveled. I began my career as a Sports Reporter/Anchor and I wore way more makeup than I want to admit. I love athletics and all of the values that they instill, but after 5 years of covering major sporting events and meeting some great people, I didn’t feel like I was fulfilling my ability to make a difference. That’s why I joined the Lueder Financial Group and why I strive to help each of my clients and their families achieve their dreams. Personally, I live in Milwaukee, WI with my fiancée, Casey, and our pup Lincoln. I enjoy spending time with them and being active.
