Professional
"After graduating from Wabash College, I knew I wanted to build a career that would give me the opportunity to make a difference in people's lives and allow flexibility. After interviewing with several different firms I chose Northwestern Mutual based on quality and a good relationship with our Managing Director, Phil Clark. I made this decision in the spring and told Phil I would start in the fall because I wanted to spend the summer in Montana working for my brother Andy. He agreed, although I don't think he believed I would actually return. I did and have been with the Northwestern Mutual Financial Network since." - Keenan Blanchford
