Our financial representatives are the face of our organization. They not only represent the Northwestern Mutual Financial Network, but they also represent the best interests of their clients. We are proud of their accomplishments, share in their enthusiasm and drive, and help motivate them to achieve the highest level of excellence.

Steven Ambriz

Financial Representative

I applied to Northwestern Mutual Financial Network ,because I wanted to be in a position to impact people’s lives. I joined Northwestern Mutual Financial Network because of its people, values, support structure, and genuine interest in bettering their clientele. I came from a firm whose values weren’t as strong or customer focused as NMFN. I feel that firm was directing me to just sell, push a product, and most of the time I felt alone and unsupported. With NMFN the support is unparalleled, always available, and most importantly customer focused. NMFN gives me the confidence that I will always be able to find the best answers for my clients.

Financial Representative

Northwestern Mutual Financial Network and specifically the Texas Financial Group embodies values, principles, and practices that reflect the character that we should all aspire to possess. When leaving the banking industry and evaluating the opportunities and choices I had during my career search, the Network opportunity distinguished itself with the long term support structure to building a successful practice. Northwestern Mutual Financial Network is/was the right choice because it offers the privilege to build financial security and financial freedom through serving others with excellence.

Michael Capparelli

Financial Representative

I joined Northwestern Mutual for a number of reasons, but what stuck out most to me was the simple fact that this company has received the "Best possible insurance financial strength ratings" from the four major rating agencies:  A.M. Best, Fitch Ratings, Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investors Service. I would find it hard to work for a company where we gain people’s trust only to put their money in a lesser company. Another reason is the people I’m surrounded by are  encouraging me and set high expectations. I feel like here people care whether I’m doing well. Another important reason is because I run my own practice. For the most part I don’t have a bunch of people telling me what to do. I also like how the harder I work, the greater the potential there is for me to make more.

David Coleman, CLU®

Financial Representative

Toward the end of my college career I had no idea what I wanted to strive to become. I knew that I had sufficient background in sales and customer relations; this in turn led me to a career as a financial representative. I have always enjoyed and knew that being a part of someone’s life and having your opinion valued was very important; this career allows for such and more.

John Hunter

Field Director

After graduating from Sam Houston State, I worked in import/export logistics for one of the largest companies in the world. Financial Services was an industry that I felt unqualified for until Northwestern Mutual Financial Network gave me a call. My name was turned in by an old friend who chose the Network out of college. After meeting with the leaders of the local office, I realized my life and career now had purpose. The personal impact we make in people’s lives and the total control over our personal success are just two reasons I will retire with Northwestern Mutual Financial Network.

Carl Monrad II, CLU®, ChFC®, CFP®

Wealth Management Advisor

After eight years in a corporate sales environment, I realized that I wanted a career that would be more meaningful and allow me more time with my young family. I chose to pursue Northwestern Mutual Financial Network based on those reasons and on the strong reputation Northwestern Mutual has in the personal, business and estate markets.

James M. Siegel

College Unit Director

As a graduate of Texas A&M University, I majored in English. The plan was to attend law school, but after interviewing with Northwestern Mutual, I could not turn away. I was attracted to an enterpreneurial lifestyle, the opportunity to meet new and exciting people every day, and the chance to have an impact on people's lives.
