Northwestern Mutual - Indiana

NAIFA has been an integral part of my career and my life for 35 years. Initially it was about survival and then it became about building a successful practice. I needed sales ideas and I need to develop my own style. Northwestern Mutual introduced me to All Granum, John O. Todd, Hugh Thompson and other legends in our company but NAIFA introduced me to all of our industry’s legends. Because of NAIFA, I met, listened to and read from men like Ben Feldman, John Savage, Joe Gandolfo, Mehdi Fakherzadeh, Jack Peckinpaugh and many others, including Indiana legends like Moe Silverman, Bart Kaufman, Bill Moeller and Jack Stanton.

I’m grateful for NAIFA’s 100+ years of lobbying on behalf of our advisers and clients but initially it was about survival and NAIFA was there when I needed to learn how to survive. Now NAIFA is about the many dear friends across the country that have become like family to me.
